York Racecourse

Peppa Pig and George visit on Press Family Sunday

There is a special relaxed feel about the only Sunday of York’s year; it naturally attracts a family crowd and remember that under 16's can go for free.

On the racecourse itself there are likely to be some close finishes as the handicaps flash past the line and in the past the day has seen a 100-1 winner!
 
The natural rhythm of a raceday allows plenty of time to get something to eat and drink aswell as providing room for quality time with the family. A wide range of additional entertainments have been expanded this year to ensure a happy day out for all ages.
 
Visit our friendly experts in the County Stand and Grandstand & Paddock enclosures where they will be on hand to explain more about the sport and horses in Racehorse Corner. Ex-racehorse Mooramana (stable name Alfie!) & pony Brandy will be in attendance too for children to meet.

There is an interactive feel to this area, with children welcome to speak to the horses aswell as being able to dress like a jockey, have a go on the horse Equisizer and explore equipment used to look after and ride a racehorse. Have a look at how small a racing saddle is compared to a normal saddle!
 
For younger children Peppa Pig and George will also be visiting the racecourse on Press Family Sunday too, meeting and greeting children around the course. Retired Greyhounds are also visiting the course from Owlerton Stadium who are happy to say hello.
 
For those of all ages the funfair is back in town for this meeting, including the popular Miami ride, in Course Enclosure. Bouncy castles are also located around the course.

Please note, for this special family meeting County Stand dress code is relaxed; gentlemen are not required to wear jacket, collar and tie.
