Facilities

Dress code

The restaurant dress code is smart casual. Jeans and trainers are not allowed; the plan-your-visit guide also rules out sportswear in hospitality. The public course has grassy paths, so choose shoes that can handle outdoor walking between the restaurant, Parade Ring and track.

Getting in

Enter through the racecourse gate on Overton Road, Bangor-on-Dee, LL13 0DA, then use your admission badge and follow signs or steward directions to the Paddock Restaurant opposite the Parade Ring. The 2026 fixtures list gates from 11:30am. Digital hospitality tickets arrive by email before race day; the exact room entrance is not separately labelled in the online guide.

Accessibility

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 Hospitality venues do not publish a step-free route for each room, so ask the hospitality team for the specific room and terrace access.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 racecourse describes public grounds as single-storey but does not publish a specific step-free route, restaurant door details, or terrace accessibility. Contact the hospitality team on 01244 304 631 with access needs and ask about the day’s table location. A companion pass is available for designated areas when arranged with the racecourse.
