Alongside the racing, there will be funfair rides, face painting, a Dragon Head workshop, and a caricaturist โ€“ perfect for families with younger children. Food and drink stalls will be on site throughout the day, and spectators are encouraged to keep an eye on the sky for a special flypast.

The event raises vital funds for Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice, which provides palliative and end of life care to people across Peterborough and the surrounding area.
