Cotley Point to Point Racing this year starts with an exciting Shetland Pony Race at 12 noon.

The event is fundraising for St Margaret’s Hospice through 'owner' sponsorship of the ponies entered.

A thrilling afternoon follows with the next race at 1 pm and last race at 3.55 pm. 

The day is ideal for families with parking in the field near to the cash catering/bar tent, children’s’ bungee jumping, bookies, trade stands, and a fabulous view of the course. 

Just after the last race we will have live music in the catering tent to round off the day with a ‘singalong’ and dance.

A spokesperson from the race event said: "It's a great day out in the countryside where people come together to enjoy the sport and to socialise.

"The gate will open from 11am, so you have plenty of time to grab a race card, study the form and enjoy your picnic or refreshments at the venue.

"The course is clearly signed (TA20 3EP) from the A30 and A358 in all directions with cash entry £15 per person and children free. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday."
