Fun Things To Do With The Family
It’s always hard to find days out that please the whole family, but our race days do just that. Whilst the arrangements for 2025 are being confirmed, you can expect free entry and entertainment for the kids. In previous years, this has included funfairs, face painting, and live performances from your child’s
favourite characters.
All while there’s exciting racing action around the track, with everyone cheering on their favourites. Not to mention a wide array of food and drinks to keep your tastebuds happy, no matter what your tastes.
Book Your Tickets For A Family Day At The Races
Don’t wait to get your fun family day out in the calendar. Kids go free, and you can get the best price on adult tickets by booking in advance. Grab general admission online, or if you’re looking to upgrade packages, you can go through our hospitality package Seat Unique. Otherwise our friendly team is always on hand to help if you want to speak to someone before booking.
Making the most of the last bit of summer? Our horse racing in August makes for an action packed day that can be enjoyed by the whole family without breaking the bank. We can’t guarantee the weather, but we can promise a fun day out at Great Yarmouth Racecourse.
Awesome August Sporting Events
The best time of year for being able to be right at the track side and feel the thunder of the horses' hooves as they speed by. Enjoy August horse racing out in the summer breeze, cheering on your favourites to the finish line.
August Activities For All Ages
Finding a day out that suits all of the family can be tricky. Though there’s a wide choice of events in August, not all of them cater for all ages, and offer value for money. A day at Great Yarmouth Racecourse provides a fun atmosphere, beautiful views and sports action, plus kids attend for free which makes it a great option for a day out during the Summer holidays in Great Yarmouth.
