ENTER HEREWhat to Expect
Our first-ever classic vehicle display will include classic cars, motorcycles, scooters, tractors and more - creating a fantastic spectacle across the site. Keep a look out to see who is awarded the Best in Show prizes!
Keeping with classic vehicle theme, our mini Land Rover circuit should keep the children entertained in between races! The ultimate kids’ electric car miniature replica of the original 1948 Series 1 Land Rover® will be in the Lawn enclosure, available to all ticket holders free of charge!
The D-Day Dollies are a 1940's themed duo that perform popular wartime songs as part of a choreographed musical entertainment show. Find them next to the Winners' Enclosure throughout the day.
The Lawn enclosure will feature the usual array of inflatables for all ages, including soft play, large bouncy castles and a larger than life inflatable slide! All are available free of charge for the full afternoon.
The shetlands will be taking to the track an hour after gates open and an hour before the main horseracing starts. Shetland races offer fantastic entertainment on the day, but also a pathway for future talent to experience racing on a racecourse. In all, not to be missed!
