A LARGE screen will beam live action from Royal Ascot during a meeting at Redcar Racecourse on Friday and Saturday.

Ascot will be shown on the screen opposite the main stand.

On Saturday, the Aintree Simulator will enable race-goers to experience the opportunity of riding in the Grand National in a "virtual" ride, while other attractions in the course enclosure include Punch and Judy shows, balloon modelling and bouncy castle.

The first 1,000 visitors to the course on Saturday will receive a voucher for a complimentary pint of beer or glass of wine.
