Newton Abbot Racecourse is set to launch its exciting summer jump racing season over the Easter holidays with a fantastic Family Day on Thursday, April 10.

This event is perfect for families looking for a fun-filled day out, with gates opening at noon and the first race starting at 2:10 pm.

And, as an extra treat, the first 500 visitors will receive a small Crème Egg to start their day with a little bit of chocolatey delight.

This fixture is part of the renowned South West Swing, a thrilling racing circuit that brings together all your favourite local racecourses.

The Family Day will also feature a £15,000 Handicap Chase sponsored by Weatherbys adding even more excitement to an already action-packed card.

Following closely after Family Day is the Easter Saturday meeting on April 19, another must-attend event for racing fans.

The gates open at noon, and early visitors who arrive between noon and 1:00 pm will be treated to a complimentary pint of Tribute sponsored by St Austell Brewery, a delightful way to start the day.

The first race kicks off at 2:00 pm, featuring a busy racecard filled with seven competitive races. The event will include a mix of hurdles and chases, with a highlight being the prestigious £20,000 Handicap Steeple Chase, promising plenty of thrilling action on the track.

To round off an exhilarating day of racing, there will be live music from the dynamic duo Sam and Strings in the Paddock Suite, with a performance open to all racegoers, both Paddock or Course ticket holders.
