The Aldington Races have been providing an adrenalin-fuelled fun day out for the family for almost 60 years.

Surrounded by countryside, the Point-to-Point area has spectacular views of the whole course.

On Easter Monday, there's a whole day of fun with local jockeys and point-to-point trainers at the course between Ashford and Hythe.

The day features plenty of Point-to-Point races, but family friendly events throughout the day include terrier racing, bale throwing, tug o'war, falconry displays and a funfair with inflatables.

There will also be a beer tent, food and drink stalls and arts and crafts stalls.

Head to the course at Church Lane, Aldington. Tickets cost £15, and under 14s are free. Buy tickets online at buytickets.at and for more information go to aldingtonraces.co.uk
