Super Family Day Out!

It is sometimes hard to find days out that please the whole family, but our race days do just that. On this May Bank Holiday, enjoy a unique blend of thrilling horse racing, free entertainment and guaranteed fun day out with the kids.

Wet Weather Guarantee☔

We know the British weather can be unpredictable, so we’re delighted to introduce our brand-new Wet Weather Guarantee.

What does that mean? On this Bank Holiday Family Fun Day, if it rains during the period from when gates open to the end of the last race, you will be invited back to an alternative raceday at Windsor for FREE – to enjoy the best of British racing under, hopefully, sunnier skies!
