Family Fun Days 2025

Here at Ripon we believe that horse racing is a sport that should be enjoyed by all the family, we offer FREE admission into all enclosures to all children under 18 for ALL race meetings as long as they are accompanied by an adult.

We also have two permanent playgrounds available at each meeting, located in our Course and Paddock enclosures to keep the children entertained. Bouncy castles and fun slides are also available in the course enclosure on Saturday meetings (weather dependant).

There are lots of lovely options for something to eat whilst here with us and we also welcome picnics in our Paddock & Course Enclosures (racegoers may bring a small amount of alcohol into the Course Enclosure – 4 cans or equivalent – but strictly no spirits and no glass. Alcohol must not be brought into the Paddock Enclosure).

There are catering outlets in the course enclosure (which is where the majority of our Children’s entertainment is based) and over in the Paddock & Club enclosures we have a wide variety of options including jacket potatoes, home cooked warming dinners in our Fountains Café along with Fish n Chips and Hot roast sandwiches & toasties.

And for afters, we have the wonderful ‘Charlotte’s ice creams’ and our traditional sweet shop on site.

If you would like a sit down meal, we have our Club Dining room in the Club Enclosure where Children are more than welcome. Our caterers are more than happy to offer them a Children’s version of what is on the day’s ‘A La Carte’ menu.
