Your visit, step by step

  1. Accessible parking

    Blue Badge spaces are signposted in the North Car Park opposite the Premier Entrance. The racecourse says accessible spaces are close to the main entrance; follow arrival signs and ask stewards for help.

  2. Step-free areas

    Step-free access is provided to key public areas, including parts of the grandstand. The venue includes historic areas, so access differs by location; consult the linked AccessAble guide for gradients, seating, viewing and surfaces.

  3. Personal assistant ticket

    A complimentary assistant ticket is available for eligible visitors receiving DLA, AA, PIP or AFIP, or who are registered blind. Apply in advance or on the day with proof of eligibility and matching photo ID by contacting the racecourse.
