Where your ticket takes you

• The Grandstand & Paddock public enclosure, including both tiered grandstands.
• The Parade Ring, Winners’ Enclosure area, betting shop and betting ring.
• The Course Enclosure too; Grandstand & Paddock tickets admit to the cheaper centre-course picnic area.

Not included

• A table in the Winning Streak Restaurant or a private suite; these are separate hospitality packages.
• The hospitality account bar or private balcony in a booked hospitality suite.

The view

There are two tiered grandstands, with views across the Flat and National Hunt courses. The Parade Ring and Winners’ Enclosure are included, and the elevated stand gives a view of the finish; you can also walk to the Course Enclosure for its central-course outlook. A raised viewing platform sits just past the finishing post.

Food and drink

This enclosure has the widest choice of Catterick’s walk-up bars and catering outlets.

Facilities

Dress code

Catterick has no formal dress code. The racecourse recommends smart casual clothes and dressing for the weather. The stands and most outdoor areas are open to the elements; comfortable shoes help when walking between the Parade Ring, betting ring and grandstand.

Getting in

Buy in advance online up to 48 hours before the meeting to use the lower advance price; after that, the gate price applies. Use the Grandstand & Paddock entrance. On the racecourse site, public gates and race times are listed separately for each fixture. Free car parks serve both enclosures; the south-end hard-standing car park is for disabled parking and Annual Pass holders. Picnics cannot be brought into Grandstand & Paddock.

Accessibility

Most outdoor areas are tarmacked. The FAQ lists level access to the restaurant, self-service cafeteria, Gods Solution, Paddock Bar and Tote bars; a lift in Gods Solution serves the first-floor Champions Bar and hospitality suites. Accessible toilets are in Gods Solution and beside the restaurant, and a raised viewing platform is just beyond the finish. Accessible parking is by the south entrance, subject to availability. Catterick offers a free Personal Assistant ticket through its Access Card scheme; use a digital pass or call 01748 811478 with your Access Card ID. The course does not provide mobility aids.

Children and families

Under-18s are free in all enclosures when accompanied by an adult. The FAQ lists baby-changing facilities in the Champions Bar ladies’ toilets and high chairs in the restaurant and hospitality boxes, subject to availability. Children can use the Course Enclosure play area too, and extra activities are added on busier days or holidays.

Tips

• Grandstand & Paddock includes the Course Enclosure, so you can use both public areas on one ticket.
• Book at least 48 hours before racing for the advance rate; feature-day prices are higher.
• The £26 standard-day Horseshoe Package or £28 feature-day package adds a racecard and Dish of the Day voucher.
• Do not bring a picnic into this enclosure; picnics belong in the Course Enclosure.

Upgrading

If you start in the Course Enclosure, the racecourse says you can buy a Grandstand & Paddock transfer ticket at the transfer point. The current 2026 admission page does not list a dated transfer charge.
