Family Funday - A Packed Day of Fun for All Ages!

Join us at Newton Abbot Racecourse for an extra-special Family Funday during the local school holidays! As always, there’ll be thrilling live racing to enjoy, but that’s just the beginning…

We’ve lined up a full day of family-friendly entertainment, including face painting, inflatables, Hook A Duck, and access to our ever-popular play park. Blaze, our friendly racecourse mascot, will be out and about throughout the day for meet and greets and photo opportunities.

The fun doesn’t stop there – the first 200 children through the gates will receive a special giveaway (details to follow), so be sure to arrive early!

We’re also delighted to welcome Moorland Rovers and their iconic bright pink Land Rover, alongside Redpost Equestrian who’ll be running a fantastic hobby horse jumps course.

Plus, we’re proudly supporting Rowcroft Hospice with engaging family activities and fundraising on the day.

Don’t miss the Rowcroft Mascot Race, taking place half an hour before the first horse race. Expect a colourful line-up of mascots, including Blaze, Finney the Fox, The Big Sheep, Ambrose, Grecian, Raphael the Raccoon, Sammy Seahorse, and many more – racing for fun and a great cause!

Whether you're a seasoned racegoer or visiting for the first time, it’s the perfect way to spend a summer’s day with the whole family.
