The Jockey Club at Exeter Racecourse to host annual Devon Air Ambulance Race Day

The charity day is an exciting ‘Family Fun’ day out with gates opening at 10:30am, and new for this season - a Shetland pony race starting the day at 11am. Children will be encouraged to come and meet these wonderful ponies in their stables near the racecourse office.

Also, in the marquee, families will find plenty more activities to keep the children entertained, including: a Colouring Competition with 3 prizes up for grabs that will be presented at the winners' podium in the afternoon, and well-loved Ozzy the Magician who will be performing throughout the day with his tricks.

General Admission tickets are available in advance from £19pp for adults with 10% being donated directly to Devon Air Ambulance. Children 17 and under, accompanied by an adult, can attend for free and bookings for groups of 6+ will receive a discount.

Jo-Anne Rigby, Head of Fundraising for Devon Air Ambulance said:

‘This event is a great opportunity to take the whole family out ahead of the holiday season, with lots of activities for everyone including live music to entertain you! As a local charity we thoroughly enjoy being out and about at events like this, meeting members of the local communities we serve and being able to thank them for all their support. There will also be an opportunity to meet our crew and see the Critical Care Car up close on the day – mission depending.

Come along and meet our mascots Ambrose Bear and Jennie the Heli, and of course the rest of the team who will be very pleased to see you on the day! We’ll also have our 2024 Christmas cards and other items on sale.

We are thrilled to have this ongoing partnership with The Jockey Club, and we can’t wait to welcome supporters to Exeter Racecourse this weekend.’
