Ffos Las Racecourse

We visited this nice little racecourse on a Tuesday, so it wasn't a well attended meeting. We enjoyed the day. It's a tidy little racecourse and the staff that I dealt with were friendly and helpful. We purchased a 'Thirsty Day at the Races' ticket each for £25, which were good value as they included admission, 2 drinks and a race card. However, on going to the kiosk for the race card I was told I needed to collect it from the bar, then was told by the bar man that none had been sent over, so we missed out on that. That was my only grumble to be honest, and we enjoyed our visit.

Well worth the trip. The view of the whole track is superb. I would highly recommend this course. If you book early "a day at the races" ticket may be available. So for an additional £5 you get a racecard (£3), pint of lager (£6.20) and a pie (not sure but about £4). Great value.

We are here on holiday and had booked the races and reggae evening. The course is really well maintained, easily accessible and the staff work incredibly hard to keep it spotless. A team were constantly litter picking empty plastic glasses etc, excellent! There is a bag check before you enter and despite other reviews, the ladies were clean, plenty of paper and NO queue!! There seemed to be three lots of toilets so if there is a queue in one building, walk a few yards to the drinks 'tent' and use those. We thoroughly enjoyed the racing and managed to get a seat outside. The commentating was rather 'flat', didn't really have much oomph to it to create a build up during each race but the alcohol seemed to make up for it. Lots of folk having a great time, despite the pretty lively prices, £10 for a rum/gin cocktail, just over £6/pint, £38/jug! Food wise, we hadn't booked hospitality as was expecting some jamaican type fare but the only options were nachos/wraps, loaded fries or burgers (only beef, no chicken) so the only jamaiacan/reggae options were the drinks. We had loaded fries for a tenner each. The music started around 9.30pm and by that time it was dark and cold, remember to take a coat because lots of people were shivering in their shorts and dresses. The main pavilion remained open and was warm, with tables and chairs. The band were excellent, some people managed to dance, with side shows of men wrestling and women rolling on the grass. If you're not local, then think carefully about your taxi time, ours couldn't collect is any earlier and it cost £30 each way to/from Llanelli. The course is right next to a new housing estate and accord to Google the nearest pub is a 40min walk away, so you're stuck there! All in all the racetrack and staff were excellent, as is their website. You get what you might expect from a boozy, sun filled afternoon.

Great place can get quite cold when the sun goes down ! Busy on race days as to be expected ! No cash machines on small race days so take cash! Big days such as ladies day, gentlemen's day, champion hurdle ect there are cash machines on site . Burger and coffee van on site expensive and could do with a few more . Family fun days are great extra food and drink Van's and free fairground rides to keep the little ones entertained between races and face painting ! Fantastic place to be ! Wish there were more race days throughout the year !
