Catterick Racecourse’s 2024 Flat season gets underway on Wednesday 3 April with its Easter Family Day, the first of 17 fixtures at the course this season.
Under 18’s race free at all Catterick’s fixtures, but on four family days, and throughout the summer holidays, there’s more than just the racing action in store for the next generation of racing fans.
On Wednesday 3 April, families can enjoy Easter themed fun alongside the racing action, including ‘Easter Egg in a Bucket’ and ‘Find the Chick’ side stall games, and an Easter Egg Hunt. While for those looking for a tougher challenge, reactions will be tested in the Extreme Arena!
Younger racegoers taking part in the Egg Hunt will be hoping to find the Golden Egg, which will enter them into a prize draw to win tickets for Lightwater Valley Family Adventure Park.
Emma Stevenson, General Commercial Manager said: “We always look forward to our family days and welcoming the next generation of racegoers through the gates! There’s lots to look forward to this Flat season and we can’t wait to get underway with the Easter Family Day on Wednesday 3 April.”
Alongside the family fun, there will be an action packed seven race card to enjoy, the first race is scheduled for 1.50pm and the last race at 4.55pm. The gates will open to the public from 11.50am, and a free shuttle bus will run between Richmond Market Place and the racecourse from one hour prior to the first race.
Catterick Racecourse is pleased to confirm that the Millbry Hill Country Store Ride of the Meeting Series will continue this Flat season and jockeys will be keen to impress for a chance to win a £20 Millbry Hill voucher at each meeting, whilst hoping to earn the Millbry Hill Ride of the Season title at the end of the season.
Other highlights this Flat season include the return of the Catterick Beer Festival Race Day, in association with The Pennine Brewing Co., which takes place on Saturday 8 June this year. While the ever-popular Ladies' Day and family fun days return in August.
