The family fun days are designed to be welcoming, making it the perfect introduction for first-time visitors. The afternoon is structured around a series of races with plenty of time in between to grab some food, enjoy entertainment and explore the grounds. The parade ring is well worth a visit around 15 minutes before a race begins, to see the horses up close. Each race lasts just minutes, which is perfect for little ones with shorter attention spans. We have a handy beginner’s guide to racing , and a starter guide to racing terms for more.
