Don't miss a weekend of action-packed horse racing and family fun which will have something for the young and old alike during the bank holiday weekend.

On August 25, the three-day Family Racing Festival kicks off with a Racecourse Trainers' open day when Epsom's racehorses will exercise on the gallops and trainers and vets will be on hand to answer questions.

Visitors will also have the chance to glimpse horses in their racing yards. The open day runs from 9am to 1pm. It costs £6 for adults and £4 for children but is free for under-9s.

The next day, the Family Fun Raceday will be full of treats for the kids including pony rides, a petting zoo, bouncy castle, carousel, face-painting, running races and demonstrations on how to shape a heated horseshoe.

Tickets are £18 in advance and £20 on the day. Entry to the Lonsdale Enclosure costs £5. 

The event is free for children aged 17 and under.

And the Summer Raceday taking place on August 27 will be free. It is an afternoon of racing, pony rides and a Victorian carousel.
