HOOVES AND HORSEPOWER ON EASTER SUNDAY

Article 5th February 2026 Market Rasen

One of Market Rasen Racecourse’s most popular spring fixtures, Easter Sunday Raceday returns this year on April 5th with a mix of competitive Jump racing and a classic vehicle rally.

 

A highlight of the spring-season calendar, the meeting features an afternoon of National Hunt racing alongside a celebration of motoring heritage, with a wide range of classic cars, motorcycles and vintage vehicles on display around the course. Long established as a favourite with racegoers and local families, the event offers a traditional Easter day out, with plenty to enjoy both on and off the track.

The raceday features a full programme of Jump racing, with a competitive mix of hurdle and chase races, showcasing both established names and emerging talent.

 

Away from the racing, the classic vehicle rally provides plenty to explore between races, giving racegoers the chance to enjoy the sights and sounds of motoring history. The relaxed layout of the racecourse makes it easy for racegoers to move between the parade ring, trackside viewing areas and the vehicle displays, creating a sociable and welcoming atmosphere.

Market Rasen Racecourse always welcomes families, with under-18s enjoying free entry when accompanied by an adult. Shetland Pony racing will add to the day’s appeal for younger visitors, alongside free entertainment including face painting, live music and inflatables.

 

There are open spaces for picnics, a wide choice of food and drink outlets and entertainment on offer throughout the day, Easter Sunday Raceday is designed to appeal to regular racegoers and first-time visitors alike.

Hospitality options are available for those looking to make a day of the occasion, including dining packages in Altior’s Restaurant, which offers panoramic views across the racecourse and the surrounding Lincolnshire countryside. Advance booking is recommended as the Easter fixture traditionally attracts strong demand.
