A mad-cap children's fun day is being planned for Aintree's annual family raceday.
Children’s educational workshop company, Mad Science, will keep the kids entertained at the raccourse's Freaky Family Funday on Sunday 24th October.
Theatrical experiments and slime making forms just part of a bumper weekend of sport and entertainment for Aintree’s first race meeting of the new jump racing season.
The Freaky Family Funday, which is sponsored by Matalan, will feature a day of six competitive races, alongside free Halloween-themed entertainment for all ages.
This includes a Mad Science workshop and slime making stations, face painting, fancy dress competitions and magic shows.
There will also be pony grooming and free pony rides for the children in Aintree’s Equestrian Centre.
The opening day of the race weekend is Aintree’s only Saturday raceday outside of the John Smith’s Grand National.
It will stage the £60,000 totescoop6 Grade 2 Old Roan Chase which featured 2010 John Smith’s Grand National winner Don’t Push It, last year.
The day’s big matches will be shown in a dedicated sports lounge and racegoers in attendance can also enjoy one drink as a complimentary night cap from Alma de Cuba on production of their race ticket.
Admission for children aged 17 and under is free for the whole weekend and ‘early-bird’ tickets are now available at a special advance price of £16 (standard general admission price usually £19 after 21/10/10).
General admission tickets give racegoers access to all public areas, including Aintree’s unreserved grandstand seats.
Tickets are available online at aintree.co.uk or on 0844 579 3001.
