Easter is just around the corner and with it comes a host of unmissable horse racing to keep the whole family entertained.
From Good Friday through to Easter Monday, there are 19 fantastic race fixtures taking place all across the country at which under 18s go free* – meaning it’s the ideal time to get the whole family along to your local course.
Kicking off the long weekend on Friday 30th March is Finals Day of the All Weather Championships at Lingfield where £1 million in prize money is on offer, making this the richest all-weather raceday staged in Europe and a day not to be missed!
From Musselburgh down to Newton Abbot, over to Ffos Las and across to Fakenham, there’s plenty of thrilling action to excite everyone this Easter. Every course will be providing eggscellent activities for under 18s, such as Easter egg hunts, carnival rides and much more – a perfect family day out for the Easter weekend.
And, if you want to get a behind the scenes taster of what it takes to get a racehorse to the track in peak condition, then head to the Lambourn Open Day on Good Friday where some of the most famous racing yards will be open to the public. Those who live further north can also join in the excitement at the Middleham Open Day.
Whether it’s witnessing the heart-pounding racing or taking part in the family-friendly activities on course, there are no excuses to miss out this Easter!
