SUNDAY racing returns to Thirsk for the first time in more than a decade when the course stages a Family Sunday Fun Day next weekend.
It will be only the second time in its history that a Sunday meeting will have been held at the popular North Yorkshire racecourse and to mark the event, it is being supported by Racing UK.

Britain’s foremost racing channel is giving the chance for members of the Racing UK club to purchase two tickets for the price of one. All subscribers to Racing UK have until this Friday to contact the racecourse and take up the offer.

The action gets underway with the first race at 2.20pm, although the gates will open at 11am.

As fun for all the family is the order of the day, there will be lots to keep the younger racegoers happy with pony rides, a Punch and Judy show, bouncy castles and a playground for the children in the family enclosure.

There will also be live music will be provided by The Playlist, while racegoers will be able to follow the action on the big screen opposite the Paddock.

Entry to the Premier Enclosure costs £22, and it’s £15 to go in the Paddock with children under 18 getting in free if accompanied by a paying adult.
