Looking forward to Peppa Pig and Press Family Sunday

Fun for all on Press Family Raceday; seven thoroughbred races plus our first ever pony race, bouncy castles, face painting, free ice cream and special appearances by Peppa Pig and George.

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 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.

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. Bouncy castles are also located around the course. A wide range of additional entertainments in celebration of Family Day will ensure a happy day out for all ages, please keep visiting the website for further details of the extra entertainment programme as the season unfolds.

Enjoy County Stand admission and a traditional three course Sunday Roast for just £44 with under 12s at only £10. Call 01904 620911 to book.

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