Join us for a fantastic Family Funday at Newton Abbot Racecourse – the perfect summer outing for all ages! Held during the local school holidays, this action-packed raceday combines the thrill of live horse racing with a whole host of free family entertainment.

Little ones will love the face painting, inflatables, Hook A Duck, and our popular play park, all included in your raceday admission. Our friendly mascot Blaze will be making appearances throughout the day, and the first 200 children through the gates will receive a special giveaway!

Plus, don't miss the Rowcroft Mascot Race, taking place half an hour before the first race. Watch as Blaze and a lively line-up of mascots race to raise money for Rowcroft Hospice.

We're also excited to welcome Moorland Rovers with their iconic bright pink Land Rover and Redpost Equestrian with their hobby horse jumps course – perfect for young equestrian fans.

Free Shuttle Bus:
Complimentary return transport is available from the Courtney Park lay-by (opposite Newton Abbot Train Station) starting from gates open, with return journeys running for one hour after the final race.

️ Advance Offer:
Pre-book online and enjoy a pasty and a pint for just £8! Already booked? Call us to add it to your order.

Whether you're a racing regular or first-time visitor, this is a brilliant way to spend a summer's afternoon with the whole family.
