People can enjoy a fun day out and raise money for local causes at the same time this weekend.

The Argus has teamed up with Brighton Racecourse for the third Argus Family Fun Day.

Proceeds from the event on Sunday will go to The Argus Appeal, which helps Sussex causes.

As well as raising money, people will have the chance to win some cash by placing a bet during the afternoon's races.

Other attractions include a children's play area with bouncy castles, face-painting, bungee trampolines, giant sumo wrestling, helium balloons and free ice lollies. The Argus Press Gang will be out in force and has plenty of fun and games planned.

Appeal co-ordinator Elsa Gillio said: "The race day is always fabulous fun.

"We would urge as many people as possible to come along."

Tickets cost from £10 for adults if booked in advance. Children aged 16 and under are admitted free.

Gates open at noon and the first race is at 2.30pm. Call 01273 603580.
