CHILDREN & FAMILIES

We have three Family Days in 2024, with a wide range of activities and fun for all ages from Punch ‘n’ Judy and fancy dress to a barrel train, , bouncy castles, arts and crafts, circus, face painting and much more all FREE for kids.

Baby changing facilities are located in each enclosure, including within the Members areas and Rowels Boxes.

The baby changing area in the Paddock Ladies’ toilets includes a feeding area with comfy chair, lockable door and sink. 

High chairs are available in the Paddock, Club and Course enclosures, please ask a member of staff should you require one.

We have a range of food and drink outlets at Ripon Races, that can cater for children. Amongst the many options we have firm family favourites fish and chips, ice cream and a sweet shop in the Paddock Enclosure!

Picnics are allowed in the Course Enclosure and Paddock Enclosure areas so that families can relax on the grass and enjoy their own al fresco lunch while they soak up the atmosphere of a family day at the races. Picnics are not allowed in the Club enclosure.

The Racecourse offers many food and drink options for children. Sandwiches, toasties, cakes and muffins are available, as well as a range of hot meals. There is an old fashioned Sweet Shop within the Paddock Enclosure and an ice cream kiosk too! All of our bars and catering outlets serve water, as well as soft drinks.

We welcome children within the Club Restaurant and Dine & View, and smaller portions and/or a Children’s Menu are available.
