Ascot Racecourse has announced the launch of its first family day featuring the best of racing and a host of entertainment for all the family.

The Spring Family Raceday will take place on Sunday, March 24 with free entry for all kids under 18 with a paying adult.

The well-known children’s book character, The Gruffalo, will be in attendance and take part in meet and greets at regular intervals throughout the day.

Ascot Racecourse’s family days have earned themselves a reputation for being un-rivelled and the ultimate quintessentially English day out with first-class facilities.

Racegoers can look forward to a dynamic race card as well as a host of other countryside-themed attractions.

Kids and adults alike can also look forward to attractions at The Pavillion, including film screenings, a climbing wall and balloon modeling.

Alongside the host of activities on offer, action awaits on the course as the 2023/24 Jumps season comes to a thrilling close with a varied and competitive seven-race card.
