Joseph's Amazing Camels

Camel racing on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Yes, real camels, ridden by desert pirates!

Camel racing is a huge sport in the Middle East and is becoming increasingly popular in the West. Joseph's Amazing Camels - who operate the highest standards of animal welfare, have been thrilling audiences around Britain since 2000, and have raced at Duncombe Park once before. From Cheltenham Racecourse to the Royal Cornwall Show to the Ballymena Steam Rally, these camels have been there and done that.

The camels and the jockeys, specially trained, will wear fantastically colourful Arabian desert pirate outfits, to fit in with our Pirates and Crocodiles family theme. As well as racing, the camels will be on display all day so you can meet these splendid animals and learn more about them.

The camels will race down the arena - the louder the cheering, the faster they go!
