HIGH-quality racing, and great family fun, is available at Musselburgh Racecourse on Easter Saturday.
Racing enthusiasts can soak up the action as the East Lothian course launches its 2024 Flat season with the Easter Saturday Race Day - featuring the coveted £100,000 Queen's Cup.
Although youngsters aged 17 and under go free, grown-ups are not forgotten, with live music and dancing to keep spirits high at the Easter weekend social event.
The variety of street food vendors include family favourite Nee Naw Pizzeria, run by firefighters from a converted fire engine and Cheese on Coast.
Children can get in on the racing action by saddling up on Happy Hoppers for the 'Mini Queen's Cup' race, with tennis legend Judy Murray waving the starting flag.
The younger generation will be spoiled for choice with free fairground rides to enjoy, arts and crafts to get creative, and the Easter Bunny is rumoured to be making a special appearance.
The popular Corgi Derby is also making a return, which will see spectators witness a four-legged race like no other with a distant cousin of one of the late Queen Elizabeth’s corgis in the running.
Aisling Johnston, Musselburgh Racecourse head of marketing and business development, said: "Whether you're a racing fan or just looking for a fantastic day out, we've got something for everyone.
"Make sure you bring your dancing shoes as the Funkwagen DJs will be heading to keep the atmosphere going at the after-racing party.
"With prestigious races, free activities for kids, live music and delicious food, it's the perfect chance to meet up with friends or family this Easter."
The Easter Saturday Raceday, on March 30, will open doors at 11.30 am and the first race is off at 1.50pm (subject to change). Book tickets before midnight on March 29 and save £5.00 per person with under 17s going free when accompanied by an adult.
