James Brennan, head of marketing and sponsorship at York Racecourse, said: “Having experienced the atmosphere that Craig David brought on his previous visit, music and racing fans are in for a treat.

The evening will include six races, featuring a £70,000 Listed contest for fillies supported by the European Breeders Fund.

Grandstand and Paddock enclosure tickets start at £42 per person for groups of six, with no booking fees and free parking.

Tickets go on general sale from February 13 at 10am via www.yorkracecourse.co.uk, with early access available through selected fan clubs via the Ticketmaster platform.
