Pontefract Flat Race | In The Zone Family Day
Pontefract’s Family Day is arranged so you can learn about different aspects of horseracing. You can learn about the industry, see a parade of ex-racehorses, a newcomers zone where racegoers can meet some of the help team who will show you around and explain how an afternoon at the races works, plus a tipster zone and a kids zone.
In addition to the racing there will be a funfair, face painting and free kids activity pack, plus experience the thrill of riding in a race through the JockeyCam VR headsets.
Gates open at 11.30am and the first race is 2.12pm.
Admission is £24 in the Premier Enclosure or £20 for concessions, £18 in Grandstand and Paddock or £15 for concessions. A family Grandstand and Paddock ticket can be purchased for £30 which admits two adults and their children.
Picnic Enclosure admission is £7 each, £5 for concessions or £24 for a car, which includes up to four adults.
