In addition to the full racing programme, there will be plenty of family entertainment to enjoy.

Topping the bill is Duggee, from ‘Hey Duggee’, who will be making appearances at intervals throughout the afternoon.

Among the many other attractions will be a neigh and play garden, a kids carnival, an inflatable funfair, face painting, Age UK Lindsey garden games, a treasure hunt, a children’s race on the track, and a fantastic playground.

The day is sponsored by the racecourse’s charity of the year Age UK Lindsey, which is dedicated to working with, and for, all older people across West Lindsey, east Lindsey and North Lincolnshire.

Nadia Powell, General Manager, Market Rasen Racecourse, said: “Our Family Extravaganza every August is always one of our most popular days annually.

“This year, it is sponsored by Age UK Lindsey and we are delighted to have formed this new partnership for 2019-20.

“The charity does hugely valuable work to help people in Lincolnshire make the most of later life and I am sure our visitors will be most generous in their donations to ensure that their brilliant work continues.”
