Crowds Flock To Downpatrick Races' Family Fun Day

Guinea pigs, rabbits, llamas, donkeys, tortoises, an albino hedgehog, and many more animals were there for children to interact with. There were also pony rides laid on, quad racing, bouncy castles, novelty and fair stalls.

“> And in the main function room there was face painting, poster drawing and a number of large characters in costumes entertaining the children. But the summer racing entertainment is not yet over. On 7th August, the Wee Man from Strabane, Hugo Duncan, will be at the ‘Keep it Country’ meeting. VIP tickets are £30 and there will be a special BBQ meal along with this. On the 29th August Ladies Day will draw in the glamorous from across the County and beyond, and it is always a day for the best in fashion. For £45 you can enjoy a VIP four-course luncheon and be entertained by celebrity guests. You might even win a diamond ring in a raffle. There will be lively music and as usual, there will be prizes for the Best Dressed on the day. And if you get a winner on the horses, that is just a bonus!]]>
