At Bath Racecourse, under 18's will get free entry to most of our fixtures! There aren’t many places where you can take the kids for free and have an amazing day out with entertainment, excitement and of course, horse racing.
There’s lots to keep the kids entertained at Bath Racecourse. Most of our racing fixtures include additional free attractions for them to enjoy such as funfair rides, bouncy castles and face painting.
One paying adult can bring up to three children along with them so this offers great value for friends and families to get together with the kids and have a brilliant day out.
We also allow picnics to be brought on our family fun days, which is perfect for any fussy eaters. We also have a wide range of food and drink available to buy on site.
On family fun days, there will be free family entertainment to enjoy and often a fun theme for the kids. Previously, entertainment has included inflatables, face painting, Go-Karts, Derby Hoppers and fun fair rides all included in the adult ticket price. This is of course alongside an action-packed day of horse racing for the whole family to enjoy.
What’s more, at the end of 2018, Bath Racecourse was announced the winner of the Best Event at the Racecourse Association Showcase Awards for our ‘Kids Takeover Racing’ family fun day. Described as a fantastic opportunity for young people to discover more about the racecourse, children involved got to try out TV presenting, commentating and photography.
