Easter Saturday well-spent

No ticket required - entry is free

This raceday is a great opportunity to gather a group together & spend a day at the races. 

Get up close to the horses as they thunder down the track, enjoy a picnic on the public lawns or buy food on-site and enjoy the company of friends and family.

Rumour has it the Easter Bunny will be hopping by for a couple of hours in the afternoon with some free chocolates for racegoers.

Children will be kept entertained between races with free use of a bouncy castle and swing ball sets (set-up subject to weather conditions).

Timings are approximate & subject to change.

What's On

Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny called.

Said he’s popping by for a couple of hours with some chocolate. Expect to see him on course sometime in the afternoon.

Free Family Fun

A bouncy castle and swing ball sets will be all go, and free to use, all day*.

Plus! Collect a free colouring pack from the Raceday Office (ground floor, Ascot Stand) to help keep the little ones entertained between races.
