ONE OF the UK’s celebrated racing venues is hosting a family-friendly raceday event in April.
Ascot Racecourse will hold its Spring Family Raceday as it closes its 2022/23 Jumps Season.
As well as a number of races, including the veterans Chase and a competitive juvenile hurdle, the event will see a whole host of activities and offerings.
Attendees can see ferret racing and sheepdog demonstrations, ride ponies, and take part in Easter-themed arts, crafts, activities, and even bubble biking and remote-control car racing.
The event will also see entertainers such as jugglers, balloon modellers, and face painters on hand to help the day go with a swing.
This is alongside Ascot’s usual offerings of food outlets and bars.
Races will run throughout the day, with the Class 2 Juvenile Handicap Hurdle Race and the LK Bennett Handicap Steeple Chase staking grand prizes of £40,000.
No formal dress code is in effect during the Jumps season, though attendees are encouraged to dress in a “smart manner” and in anticipation of weather conditions.
Ascot Racecourse’s Family Raceday is taking place on Sunday, April 2, from 10.45am, with the first race kicking off at 1.50pm and the last at 5.20pm.
Ticket prices begin at £25, with children going free.
