Easter Festival 2026

Introducing Easter Thursday, a brand-new raceday added to our Easter Festival! After the huge success of last year, we’ve extended the fun to two days, giving you even more reasons to celebrate.
Expect all the excitement of a traditional Easter raceday, alongside an expanded Games Zone for friendly competition, a Kids Zone packed with family fun, and a food village for everyone to enjoy. Dance with our resident DJ, visit adorable animals at the petting zoo, and soak up the lively atmosphere that makes this event more than just racing – it’s a social highlight of the Bank Holiday weekend.
With something for everyone, from families to groups of friends, this is a budget-friendly, fun-filled way to kickstart your Easter celebrations. Tickets are on sale now, kids go FREE, and with last year selling out fast, we recommend booking early to avoid missing out!
