To complement the horse racing on the track, in the Bangor end Open Course Ferretworld Roadshow have declared a number of participants who will be showcasing their agility and racing each other on a track of their own that features tunnels and tubs rather than jumps and hurdles!

Informal educating talks and hands-on’ demonstrations will occur throughout the afternoon from both Vale Royal Falconry and the Ferretworld Roadshow, featuring information about animal welfare and conservation.

Additional free activities for children on the day include face painting, a giant colouring-in wall and crafts. Plenty to keep the kids entertained between races!

The Injured Jockeys Fund, a worthwhile charitable course will be on-course showcasing perfect seasonal gifts for racing enthusiasts including Christmas cards, home accessories and gifts. Ali Valentine Hats will also be showcasing their latest wears. Racegoers who hold a Paddock Ticket are welcomed to browse both stalls.

Gates open from 11.30am and racing begins at 1.40pm. It’s the perfect opportunity to get the family together and enjoy an afternoon in the North Wales countryside this October.
