But this day is about more than just racing — it’s a festival of Easter fun designed especially for families 🎉

🎈 What’s On – Easter Family Entertainment

Between races, the racecourse will be buzzing with Easter-themed entertainment and activities, giving children plenty to enjoy throughout the day:

  • 🏰 Inflatables – high-energy fun and plenty of bouncing
  • 🚗 Mini Landers – always a hit with younger racegoers

With activities taking place throughout the afternoon, there’s always something happening between races.

Wet Weather Guarantee ☂️

We know the British weather can be unpredictable, so we’re delighted to introduce our Wet Weather Guarantee for the Easter Monday Family Fun Day at Hereford Racecourse.

What does that mean? If it rains during the event from when gates open until the final race, you’ll be invited back to another selected raceday at Hereford Racecourse for FREE – giving you another chance to enjoy thrilling jump racing and fantastic family entertainment in hopefully sunnier conditions!
