Private Marquees at Bangor-on-Dee

Who it suits

• A large group wanting an exclusive marquee, meal and private viewing deck.
• Corporate or family celebrations for 50–500 guests.
• Groups that want bespoke hospitality with Paddock and Open Course access.

Ticket prices

The racecourse’s 2026 private dining listing starts at £140 + VAT per person. The price is a package booking rate, not an on-the-day admission tariff; the exact total depends on event and guest count.

Where your ticket takes you

• A private marquee hired exclusively for the group on the selected fixture.
• Paddock admission badge, which also allows movement into the Open Course.
• A private viewing deck; the racecourse describes clear views of the racecourse and all races.
• Gold package includes a three-course plated or buffet lunch, account or cash bar, coffee and chocolates, racecards, betting facilities, TV viewing, floral decoration, signage and complimentary car parking.

Not included

• Ordinary Open Course admission is not a substitute for the private marquee booking.
• The booking is exclusive venue hire with a package price per person; the racecourse does not publish a single fixed group total.

The view

Each marquee has its own private viewing deck and the racecourse says all races can be seen from it. The exact position and configuration are agreed for the event.

Food and drink

Each package is bespoke. The published Gold package provides a plated or buffet lunch and an account or cash bar; details beyond that standard set are agreed with hospitality.

Facilities

Dress code

Hereford does not set a dress code for the public enclosures, but private hospitality has a smart-casual standard: no jeans, trainers or sportswear. Much of the site is outdoors and reached across grass; wear layers and suitable footwear between the marquee and viewing areas.

Getting in

Enter at Bangor-on-Dee Racecourse on Overton Road, LL13 0DA, and follow event staff to your marquee. The 2026 race-day fixtures generally list gates at 11:30am. Your booking includes digital admission badges for the Paddock. Ask the hospitality team for the event-specific check-in point and access route because the general page does not name the marquee entrance.

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 public accessibility page does not describe routes, ramp gradients, doorway widths or toilet locations for each marquee or its viewing deck. Because the venue is outdoors, ask the hospitality team about the marquee location, ground conditions and a step-free route before confirming your group booking.

Children and families

The racecourse states that children aged 17 and under are free in public Open Course and Paddock enclosures with a responsible, full-paying adult. Hospitality places for children are discounted, but the page does not give a child price or package minimum age. Ask the hospitality team to price children in your group.

Tips

• The Gold package is the published starting point; ask the team to price upgrades or a bespoke menu before planning a per-person budget.
• A marquee holds 50–500 guests; choose this option when a chalet’s 20–160 capacity is too small.
• Use the private deck for views and plan meals inside; public-course walking is over grass in places.
• Each booked guest receives an admission badge and complimentary car parking under the Gold Package.
