The meeting - also known as Revesby Races - attracts spectators from all over Lincolnshire.

Racing was due to take place in March but organisers had to postpone the event because heavy rain led to waterlogging in the car park.

The Revesby Races returned to the venue last year after a 40 year break.

The South Wold Hunt’s connection with the Revesby Estate dates back to at least the 1940s.

The meeting re-located to Market Rasen in 1977 due to the heavy cost of maintaining the permanent jumps.
