Exeter Racecourse’s Family Day on April 2 looks set to be one of the best free days out for children during the Easter holidays. And with two adults tickets available for just £15, it’s without doubt one of the best value for money days there is.

There are stacks of things for children to enjoy, including a behind the scenes tour of the racecourse, a running race down the home straight on the race course, face painting, a quiz, the chance to go on an equine simulator and pretend you’re a jockey and question and answer sessions with some of the country’s top jockeys.

Pennywell Farm’s petting corner will be in attendance and there will be miniature pigs and an array of other small animals to cuddle. There will also be Shetland ponies from the Mare and Foal Sanctuary to meet too. A bouncy castle and other attractions will all be on course for children to enjoy.

Leonard Coombe Master Saddlers and Country Life at Newton Abbot has sponsored a host of prizes, including for the best question for the jockeys, and the winners of the running races.
Two for one tickets must be pre-booked by calling 0844 5793005 or visiting www.exeter-racecourse.co.uk by midnight, April 1. Gates open at 12pm and the first pony race is at 12.40pm. The first of the main races is off at 2pm.
