In scenes only slightly less dramatic and probably far more entertaining than the Grand National, more than 40 pantomime horses (plus a few pretenders in the form of zebras and cows) will gallop through Greenwich on this race, raising money for charity Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. This year's theme is 'Rockstars', meaning you can expect horsey acts including Beatles tribute The Fab Foals. There is usually entertainment in the form of an opening ceremony, plus other antics throughout the day and an after-party with live music, comedy and DJs. Everybody's welcome at the bash, but if you think you're capable of a charity canter you'll need to sign up in advance, by emailing entries@pantohorserace.org.
Begins at Davenport House in Greenwich.
