National Racehorse Week returns for its sixth year this summer.
Taking place from August 22 to 31, it offers 13 free events across the North East and more than 85 across Britain, including open days at training yards, studs, and retraining centres.
Olly Murphy, a Warwickshire-based racehorse trainer, said: "National Racehorse Week is a brilliant initiative that I am proud to have been a part of across the last four years.
"It is an incredibly important event for our sport, and it is great to welcome newcomers, curious minds and sport lovers to learn more year in year out."
Visitors will get the chance to go behind the scenes of racing facilities, meet some of Britain’s best-known jockeys, and spend time with both current and retired racehorses.
All events are free to attend, but advance booking is required and spaces at some venues are limited.
