Bournemouth Night at the Dogs

Pack your flat cap, we're going dog racing in Bournemouth! If you're planning a stag weekend on the south coast and fancy a flutter, we'll get you a bobby dazzler of a deal at Dorset's premier greyhound racing stadium. This is a great way to keep everyone entertained before a bar crawl of Bournemouth town centre, and you get free food, booze and a bet. What's not to like?

The first race is run at 7:30pm so get the beers in, bag a sweet spot by the track and shout your hound to the finish line. Dog racing is far less pretentious than Ascot and way cheaper. No one has to wear a tie and you'll get change from a round.

You don't need a maths degree to work out the betting system, greenhorns will get the gist of it in no time. Check the odds, have a look at form and take a punt on the greyhound that looks like a winner.

The track's a short drive from Bournemouth so you'll be back in plenty of time to hit the bars and clubs.
