Due to popular demand, sheep racing will continue at weekends until the end of October.

Every weekend until Sunday 30th October, weather permitting, we will continue to run our extremely popular sheep races.

Featuring fences like Beechers Brook, The Chair and The Canal Turn, the result will be in doubt until they reach the final furlong. Will your favourite win?

There are 4 races on both Saturday & Sunday between 12 noon and 3pm and customers will get a chance to pick their favourite. All winners enter a draw to win a free family ticket for 4 people, so 4 free family tickets will be given away each day.

There will be live commentary on each race and Shep our mascot is likely to make an appearance. There is no extra charge for the sheep racing and that normal admission rates apply.

BBC Look North visited us on Friday 29th July to cover the event.
