Pontefract Races
Welcome to Pontefract Race Course  |  Thursday 17th May 2012

HIYA KIDS!

Ponte

First of all, let me introduce myself - my name's Ponte! I'm the local Pontefract Racecourse Horse and i'm here to introduce the Racecourse to you and tell you why Mum and Dad should bring you!

Why not get a Kid's Activity Pack from the Raceday Office - it's just behind the Winners Enclosure. The answers to the quiz are at the bottom of this page!

All children under 18 are FREE! So Mum and Dad can't even use that as an excuse.

At our Sunday race meetings we have a funfair, bouncy castle, circus, face painting and there's either free sweets or free ice creams for kids (24th June, 29th July, 19th August). 

KIDS ARE WELCOME AT EVERY MEETING!

THERE'S EVEN A CRECHE ON THE SUNDAYS IN CASE
YOU NEED SOME TIME AWAY FROM MUM & DAD.
