Racegoers will experience a 'carnival atmosphere' at Cumbria's premiere racecourse next week for Jumping July Monday. 

Monday July 18 will not only host the seven races but also provide a range of family activities to do off-track. 

There will be a funfair with a Carousel, and the trade stalls will be set within the course on the edge of Lake District National Park. 

There will be local food and drink vendors on site - including Cartmel's famous Sticky Toffee Pudding.

This will come hot off the heels of Kaiser Chief Ricky Wilson's DJ set on Saturday July 16.   

Race director Geraldine McKay said: "We've had a fantastic season so far and our visitors have been on top form helping to create the festival-style vibe that we're known for.

"We're expecting Monday to be no different and I'm very much looking forward to welcoming everyone through the gates for another brilliant day out.

"Owners and trainers from up and down the country have been wonderful too and Monday is sure to be an exciting day on the track as well."

Gates will open at 9am on race days and the Louis Roederer Restaurant will open at 11.30am. 

The race times are 14.05, 14.40, 15.15, 16.20, 16.50 and 17.20.
