The news was revealed on YorkMix Radio – where else? – this morning.

James Brennan, York’s head of marketing and sponsorship, told Ben and Laura on the Breakfast Mix: “We were so impressed with you guys over the weekend that we thought we’d invite you back again! And this time be part of the family that is family day.

“And YorkMix, I’m delighted to announce, are our new partners for that very special afternoon.”

As well as great racing, the YorkMix Family Raceday will be packed with family-friendly fun.

And James had news of a special guest too. “We like having a children’s character for the younger race goers to meet and greet during the course of the afternoon.

“You’ll remember we’ve seen Paddington and Peppa Pig over the years. So I’m delighted to say that headlining the family raceday on Sunday, 5 September will be Peter Rabbit.”
