It comes after York experienced hot weather over the weekend during York Racecourse’s Music Showcase Weekend headlined by Olly Murs.
The racecourse relaxed its dress code due to the hot weather by allowing men to enter its county sand and hospitality sections without a formal jacket.
“But gents, please remember a collared shirt and tie is still required,” a racecourse spokesperson said ahead of the event.
