CARTMEL racecourse beat the big boys by winning a major award at the Racecourse Association's 2014 Showcase Awards.
The internationally-renowned course won the Corporate Social Responsibility Category for the work they do within the local community.

The course is also used as a base for school activities.
RCA Chairman, Ian Barlow, said: “Cartmel had the distinction of being a Finalist in three categories at this year’s Showcase Awards - only Ascot also achieved this. I am delighted that they were the winners of the Corporate and Social Responsibility Award."
