Planning to join us for the Yarmouth Family Fun Day? Feel free to bring along your own picnic and enjoy a relaxed day out with family and friends. This is only permitted within the Grandstand and Paddock Enclosure!
Find a spot, soak up the atmosphere, and tuck into your favourite treats while enjoying all the fun and racing on offer.
Please note: Outside alcohol is not permitted within the racecourse grounds.
We know the British weather can be unpredictable, so we’re delighted to introduce our brand-new Wet Weather Guarantee.
What does that mean? On this Bank Holiday Family Fun Day, if it rains during the period from when gates open to the end of the last race, you will be invited back to an alternative raceday at Yarmouth for FREE – to enjoy the best of British racing under, hopefully, sunnier skies!
