It's an afternoon of fantastic racing combined with free entertainment for the little ones, like inflatables, assault courses and running races. The morning starts with The Epsom Trainer's Open Day giving the unique opportunity, to go behind the scenes of the local racing yards.
Before racing begins, the Trainer's Open Day holds the unique opportunity to go behind the scenes of Epsom’s training yards. You'll see the horses working on the gallops, and then visit the stars of the show at their homes on the yards.
This day is ideal for the little ones with plenty to keep them entertained alongside the horseracing! Activities often include face painters, animal encounters, pony rides, bouncy castles and much more. Last year's Family Fun Day was Adventure themed, and a new theme for next summer will be announced soon!
The day wouldn't be complete without the annual running races! There are three races throughout the afternoon along the final furlong of the racecourse, split into age categories; under 5’s, under 8’s and under 11’s. Entries fill up fast so please ensure that you pre-register by the Parade Ring on the day, to guarantee your child’s spot!
Picnics are welcomed into the Grandstand Enclosure for this fixture only. Food and drink concessions will also be available throughout the day, with a range of choices.
