Ripon Races Ripon

Ripon Racecourse is a fantastic, family-friendly place to experience the fun and excitement of horse racing. There's a playground for children and loads space for the kids to run around and play games. A giant television screen provides close-up footage of the racing action from all over the country.

There's a wide range of restaurants, cafés and bars, which offer everything from the great British favourite, fish and chips, through to exquisite seafood and champagne.

In the parade ring, guests can observe all the horses before the start of each race - an ideal opportunity to pick out your favourite, whether it's by form, personality, or just the name. Then, win or lose, experience the thrill and excitement of watching your horse race for the finishing line.

Prices begin from only £15 per car and up to 4 occupants for the course enclosure, and all children accompanied by an adult are free. It's a great Yorkshire day out and fun that all the family can enjoy!
