The racecourse says it is single-storey and its public areas are accessible. Limited hard-standing parking and designated accessible spaces are available; email ahead to reserve a space. A designated Paddock viewing area in front of the stewards’ tower overlooks the track and winning post. Bring your own seat if helpful. Disabled guests pay the standard admission price; a companion may enter designated areas free. Contact Guest Services on 01978 780 323 or mail@bangorondeeraces.co.uk to discuss access. Hospitality venues do not publish a step-free route for each room, so ask the hospitality team for the specific room and terrace access. The event page and general access page do not specify whether the Christmas marquee or its viewing space is step-free, or give the location of accessible toilets within it. Ask the hospitality team about the exact marquee layout and route before booking. Free companion admission can be arranged for a racegoer with access needs in designated areas.
