Bath offers four ways to shape a raceday: Grandstand admission, the Centre Course & Picnic Enclosure on selected fixtures, a separately ticketed Roof Garden upgrade and dining or private-suite hospitality. Grandstand admission is the standard public ticket; the Roof Garden and dining packages include admission to the public areas as well as their own facilities. Centre Course tickets use a separate route into the middle of the track and do not include live music or family entertainment when those are part of an event.
