Private Boxes at Exeter

Who it suits

• A group wanting its own indoor base, course-facing balcony and private bar.
• Families or colleagues celebrating together, with food served as part of a pre-booked package.
• A visitor who wants hospitality admission, Parade Ring access and public enclosure access included.

Ticket prices

The official private-box page lists package inclusions but no per-person price for 2026. Request a fixture-specific quote from Exeter hospitality; do not treat the restaurant price as a box price.

• The food depends on package: classic, premier and VIP options differ.
• The public hospitality information does not promise a specific box or view unless confirmed in the booking.

The view

Exeter locates its private boxes in the Haldon and Brockman stands; the hospitality page describes each as course-facing and says guests have balcony access and access to each enclosure and the Parade Ring. The Haldon Stand first-floor accessible toilets are specifically identified for Iddesleigh Gallery and private boxes. The page does not name the balcony orientation for each individual box, so ask for the room number and sightline when you book.

Food and drink

Exeter’s official food page says mobile menus can change by meeting; here are the fixed, named facilities and any food included in the ticket.

Facilities

Dress code

Exeter’s stated guidance is to “dress to feel your best”; it does not require formal racewear. Avoid team kits and offensive fancy dress. Private hospitality may feel smarter than the open enclosure, but comfort matters: Exeter is exposed on Haldon Hill, with uncovered outdoor areas, so take layers and waterproof clothing.

Getting in

Use the racecourse’s main entrance and follow signs or staff directions to the Haldon or Brockman Stand box named on your booking. The official accessibility page says there is lift access in the Haldon and Brockman stands. Gates and hospitality arrival times vary by fixture, and Exeter does not publish a single general opening time. Security searches take place. Bags must be smaller than A4 (40 × 30 × 30 cm); food and drink are not allowed unless the course has approved a medical or dietary exception in writing.

Accessibility

Accessible toilets are on the Haldon Stand first floor for private-box users; Exeter’s FAQ says there are lifts in both the Haldon and Brockman stands. Blue Badge spaces are five metres from the main entrance, first come, first served; a second area is 15 metres away in Owners & Trainers parking. One free personal assistant ticket can be requested with qualifying evidence; call 01392 832599 on the day you buy your own ticket to guarantee availability. Confirm the route to your allocated box with the course, as details vary by stand.

Children and families

Under-18s have free racecourse admission at every Exeter fixture when a child ticket is selected. Under-18s must arrive with a responsible adult aged 21 or over, or their parent; no more than three under-18s per adult. Those aged 15 and under stay with that adult throughout; 16- and 17-year-olds may move around but their adult must remain on site. Exeter does not publish a separate children’s box-package rate; include their meals and admission in the hospitality quote.

Tips

• Ask for a quote for your chosen fixture: Exeter has not posted a numeric public rate for one-day boxes.
• Tell the team how many guests need to sit together and confirm the package meal before paying.
• Mention allergies in advance; Exeter says hospitality can cater for dietary requirements with sufficient notice.
• Ask which stand and box you will use, then plan the lift route if anyone needs step-free access.
• Remember admission is included, so a second general-admission ticket is not normally needed.
