Promising all the excitement of racing for families and racegoers, this fixture is also our 3rd Autism in Racing day.
Proud to support local children with autism, we are offering complimentary tickets for families to join us for an Autism family friendly raceday in a private and safe environment. Partnering with POP Essex we once again welcome this wonderful local charity who provide SEND stay & play and respite sessions in Braintree.
Children with autism will experience a supervised state of the art sensory room* before enjoying some thrilling racing and autism friendly sensory play activities. Located in a prime position, children can watch the horses in the Parade Ring before each race or visit the Queen Charlotte marquee which promises an experience of the horses thundering past on the final bed, that they will never forget!
We are also delighted to have a Shetland pony race prior to the first race, on what is sure to be an exciting day out for the whole family.
So that the whole family can come we've reduced general admission to just £5 for adults and as always kids go FREE.
For eligibility and to apply for complimentary tickets please contact: info@chelmsfordcityracecourse.com by 1st August. Please note that the complimentary tickets must be pre-booked in advance and will not be available on the day.
*The immersive interactive sensory room has limited spaces and tickets are allocated on a first- come first-served basis.
