Everyone is welcome to enter the Best Dressed Lady and Best Hat competitions, which will take place at the Winner’s Enclosure in between races and we’ve got some fabulous prizes on offer this year thanks to our wonderful sponsors – read on to find out more about each prize and get to know a bit about our sponsors…

BEST DRESSED LADY – SPONSORED BY Berber Leather & Holiday at Home

Our best dressed lady will win a satchel and purse from Berber Leather, worth £165, plus £100 voucher for their shop in Richmond, in addition to a £150 voucher from Holiday at Home to use towards a stay at Brompton Lakes, with a Yorkshire Hamper and bottle of fizz on arrival. The winner will also be given the opportunity to represent Catterick at the Go Racing in Yorkshire Best Dressed Final.

Founded in 2015, Berber Leather is run by father-daughter team Paul and Beki. Berber Leather was created when Paul received a leather satchel from a partner on a project that connected him with Morocco. Many compliments on the bag later, Paul realised there was a market for these types of bags and Berber Leather was formed. Works in partnership with Atlas Leather, in Morocco and together, the two companies select the best leather and the highest quality bags to be brought to the UK customers. From the initial satchel that inspired it, Berber Leather has grown to now feature the range of products that you see in store and online today. 

Holiday at Home was launched in 2009 with Brompton Lakes luxury lodges, located less than 2 miles from the racecourse. The lodges were built around an existing fishery, and guests loved the styling and attention to detail, all in a stunning setting. As the popularity of the lodges grew, guests kept asking for more, and the holiday at home journey began. Since then, the Holiday at Home collection has grown to include 50 five-star large houses, country cottages, and lakeside lodges across North Yorkshire.

BEST HAT – SPONSORED BY Fascination by Cherished

The wearer of the Best Hat on the day will win a £200 voucher for hat hire from Fascination by Cherished in Ripon.

Fascination by Cherished is an affordable boutique store based in Ripon, North Yorkshire offering a bespoke range of fascinators & hats for hire or purchase. They also have a range of handbags and can create bespoke handmade headpieces to match your outfit and colour choice.

COMPLIMENTARY COCKTAILS ON ARRIVAL – SPONSORED BY YORKSHIRE DALES DISTILLERY

We have teamed up with Yorkshire Dales Distillery to offer a complimentary cocktail to the first 100 ladies to arrive and visit the Yorkshire Dales Distillery stand!

Established in 2016 and located a stone’s throw from Catterick Racecourse, Yorkshire Dales Distillery is Veteran owned, family run and multi-award winning.  The owners, Sarah and Tony, and their team take inspiration from their surroundings to craft exceptional Yorkshire Gin, Vodka and Rum.
