Exeter Racecourse’s Family Day on April 2 looks set to be one of the best free days out for children during the Easter holidays. And with two adults tickets available for just £15, it’s without doubt one of the best value for money days there is.
There are stacks of things for children to enjoy, including a behind the scenes tour of the racecourse, a running race down the home straight on the race course, face painting, a quiz, the chance to go on an equine simulator and pretend you’re a jockey and question and answer sessions with some of the country’s top jockeys.
Exmouth is taking pride of place at the Western end of the Jurassic Coast as finishing touches are applied to the Jurassic Coast Gateway.
The £500,000 scheme will be completed in time for the Easter holidays, transforming the Orcombe area of Exmouth and highlighting its status as the oldest part of the World Heritage Site.
Devon County Council has funded the improvements, working in partnership with East Devon District Council, Exmouth Town Council, the National Trust and Clinton Devon Estates, and in liaison with the Jurassic Coast and South West Coast Path Teams.
With Easter coming at the very start of the holidays, parents will be keen to encourage the kids to get out from underneath a pile of chocolate eggs and take some exercise afterwards, so Exeter City’s Football in the Community Charitable Trust’s events are a great way for them to let off steam as well as have fun.
Due to local demand, there will be a new event in Dawlish, on 8 and 9 April, as well as a return to North Tawton and Cullompton, both on Friday 12 April. There will also be four different events in Exeter, plus roadshows in Exmouth, Sidmouth, Crediton, Tiverton, Honiton,...
