A DAY of family fun at the gee-gees is being offered at Hereford Racecourse later this month.

The racecourse is hosting its family fun day on Sunday, May 22, when all under-16-year-olds accompanied by adults and all pensioners will get in for free. Alongside the six races which will be run on the day, there will also be children's entertainers and a garden show. Primary schools in Herefordshire have been also invited to enter a colouring competition, with first prize being celebrity status for the day.

As an added bonus, the 2,000th person to enter the racecourse on the day will receive a complimentary bottle of bubbly.

The gates open at midday, with the first race starting at 2.10pm. For more information and tickets, call 01432 273560.

And keen gardeners can view displays of plants, garden furniture and machinery and get the opportunity to speak to experts in the field of horticulture.
