The fun day out, featuring Totesport Southern National, will include emergency service displays, crash re-enactments, seatbelt safety demonstrations and face-painting.

There will also be a flying visit from the Sussex Air Ambulance and a chance to see the helicopter and meet the pilot, doctor and paramedic, subject to emergency call-outs.

Gates open at 10am, the first race is at 12.20pm and the last race is at 3.40pm.

Tickets booked in advance are just £9.99 with free admission for children under 16 accompanied by an adult. Hospitality is available from only £35.

Funds raised on the day will go to the life-saving charity which relies almost entirely on public donations and receives no National Lottery funding.

The highly-skilled medics can carry out advanced medical procedures at the scene of an accident or medical emergency, giving patients the best chance and quality of survival.
