Family Fun Day at Newton Abbot Racecourse
Get into the Halloween spirit with a fun-filled day out at Newton Abbot Racecourse on Wednesday 28 October, as the racecourse rounds off its 2026 season with a special Family Fun Day.
Alongside an afternoon of exciting jump racing, there will be plenty to keep younger visitors entertained, with Halloween-themed activities including pumpkin carving, a fancy dress parade and lots of family fun throughout the day. It's a chance to enjoy the atmosphere of a real race day while giving the children plenty to see and do.
And the fun doesn't stop when the racing finishes! For a fantastic-value family day out, visitors can take advantage of a special combined racing and Circus Funtasia ticket. Enjoy the racing first, with the first race at 1.51pm, then head straight over to the circus for the 5pm show.
