Not included
- Not every hospitality product includes the same meal, drinks or private space; select a named package and confirm its stated inclusions.

- Hospitality bookings are subject to availability, and minimum numbers apply to box and chalet bookings.
The view
Duke’s Restaurant has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the course, so racing remains in view while guests dine. Private boxes add a balcony overlooking the track, with a dedicated host, bar, live-racing television and private betting facilities. The restaurant marquees are positioned at the Parade Ring or Club Lawn and include outdoor seating as well as a private bar and betting facilities. Your exact view depends on the room and the fixture; the hospitality team can confirm which space is available for your group.
Food and drink
Hospitality packages centre on a seated meal and can add drinks, a cheeseboard or private bar access.
Duke’s Restaurant
The dining room looks over the track through floor-to-ceiling windows. The 2026 offers included two-course, three-course and Gold experiences, with tea and coffee and different drinks or betting extras.
Private Box packages
Silver, Gold and Platinum packages each include a three-course meal and a private bar. Gold added half a bottle of wine and a Scottish cheese board; Platinum included house drinks and a sharing board.
Restaurant marquees
The Parade Ring and Club Lawn marquees are available on selected racedays or for private hire. Both offer their own bar, meal packages and an outside area.
Overton Farm Grill and The Hill
Public outlets remain available elsewhere in the venue: The Hill serves pizza and light meals, while Overton Farm Grill offers locally produced burgers and takeaway food.
Facilities
Private rooms and capacity
Hamilton’s 2026 hospitality page offers boxes, Duke’s Restaurant, restaurant marquees and exclusive hire of Red’s Wine Bar. Capacities and minimum party sizes differ by room; ask the hospitality team for the space matching your group.
Private bar and betting
Boxes and marquees have their own bar and betting facilities. The 2026 package inclusions vary, with some providing Tote vouchers and a private betting point.
Parking and arrival
Hospitality packages list a parking pass, and guests use Duke’s Car Park at Gate 1 rather than the public car park at Gate 4.
Wi-Fi, screens and lift
Private boxes include free Wi-Fi, HD televisions showing racing and lift access. The venue says its hospitality areas are wheelchair accessible; Duke’s Restaurant and first-floor rooms can be reached by lift.
Dress code
Hamilton Park has no strict dress code and recommends smart casual for general visitors. Hospitality guests often dress up, particularly for Ladies’ Night, but the venue still prioritises comfort. Dress for an outdoor sporting event and the route between Duke’s entrance, your room and any outdoor terrace. If you are hosting a group, tell guests about the smart-casual recommendation and the weather exposure before they arrive.
Getting in
Hospitality guests use Duke’s Entrance and Car Park, Gate 1, rather than the public main turnstiles via Gate 4. The 2026 hospitality package descriptions include VIP admission and a parking pass. Fixture gate times are event-specific. Book through Hamilton Park’s Hospitality Sales Manager, Katie, on 01698 206 474 or via the hospitality enquiry route. Minimum numbers apply to box and chalet bookings, and all packages are subject to availability. Hamilton Park’s ticket policy says race-day tickets are non-refundable, but it provides a transfer or full refund if a future fixture is cancelled.
Accessibility
The venue describes Duke’s Restaurant, private boxes and marquees as wheelchair-accessible; a lift serves private boxes and first-floor grandstand facilities. Duke’s and Panorama Bars also have lift access, while accessible toilets are in the grandstand and Duke’s Restaurant. Blue Badge parking spaces are available in Duke’s Car Park via Gate 1, subject to availability. Hamilton Park’s carer-goes-free scheme charges one adult admission for a visitor who needs physical assistance and their registered companion. Some rises occur by Duke’s Entrance and the front of the stand; call 01698 283806 to discuss the room, route, toilets or a specific support need before booking.
Children and families
Hospitality packages include VIP admission for the number of guests covered by the package, but child pricing is not listed as a universal hospitality rate. Under-18s are free on standard admission when accompanied by an adult and still need a ticket; hospitality rooms and meals are separately booked. The racecourse can confirm whether a child can be added to a specific dining package and whether a seat, meal or room capacity counts them toward the minimum or maximum group size. Family food packages are separate products from the private hospitality packages.
Tips
- Choose the room first, then compare the inclusions: VIP admission, meals, drinks, betting vouchers and parking vary by package.
- Budget for VAT on top of the quoted 2026 rates; Hamilton Park states its package prices exclude VAT.
- Use Gate 1 and Duke’s Car Park for hospitality. The general public car park and main entrance are at Gate 4.
- Ask the hospitality team about minimum numbers, exact room capacity and fixture availability before planning a large group.
- Tell the organiser about access needs in advance; some ground elevations are noted around Duke’s Entrance and the grandstand.
