Where your ticket takes you

• The Sports Bar is inside the Grandstand and contains casual food from the Grill Kitchen.
• Guests collect meal vouchers at the booking information desk inside the Ticket Office.
• Admission and access to Grandstand, terrace or Parade Ring depend on the event ticket.

The view

The Sports Bar is an indoor Grandstand base with the Grill Kitchen inside and public viewing areas nearby. The FAQ confirms separately sold packages but does not describe a private terrace or reserved trackside seat. The event ticket determines whether guests may use Grandstand viewing or visit the Parade Ring.

Food and drink

The Sports Bar package is associated with casual food from the Grill Kitchen. Its current FAQ does not state a voucher value or menu.

Facilities

Dress code

The What to Wear page says guidance depends on the event. No Sports Bar-specific code is listed. The Club Restaurant’s formal jacket-and-tie rule applies to that separate room. Smart casual layers and comfortable footwear suit moving between the Grandstand and outdoor areas.

Getting in

Use the main entrance through the Ticket Office. The FAQ tells Sports Bar package guests to arrive when gates open and collect meal vouchers from the booking information desk inside the Ticket Office. Standard guidance says gates normally open two hours before the first race, with exact times on event pages. Bags may be searched and must be no larger than A4; outside food and alcohol are prohibited.

Accessibility

The racecourse says the Ticket Office is level-floored, then the route into the central course uses a pedestrian tunnel and an approximately 130-metre sloped path. Ramps or lifts reach areas above ground level. A complimentary buggy runs from the Ticket Office to the Grandstand for visitors with mobility difficulties, but it does not collect from cars, carry wheelchairs or children, and can pause at busy times. Accessible toilets are on each Grandstand level and at the Pavilion and Ticket Office. The limited 2-for-1 personal-assistant scheme is for general admission only, not hospitality. Contact the racecourse about the exact route to a booked room; Blue Badge spaces are near the entrance and subject to availability.

Children and families

The FAQ says under-18s are admitted free at standard racedays with a paying adult, but gives no Sports Bar child price or voucher rule. Feature-day children need full-price tickets and may be excluded from premium viewing; the event ticket controls.

Tips

• Collect meal vouchers inside the Ticket Office before entering the Grandstand.
• Arrive as gates open if the voucher is linked to a meal service window.
• Read the event ticket for admission and access to Parade Ring or terrace areas.
• Carry a card or phone wallet because the Sports Bar and Grill Kitchen are cashless.
