Not included

Food brought in from outside. Hexham says food may not be taken into its buildings unless bought on site.

The view

The Enderby, Patterson and Gill Boxes sit on the top floor of the Ramshaw Stand. Hexham describes their outlook as a view across the racecourse and surrounding Northumbrian countryside. The private rooms have their own TV screens, so you can follow action while taking a break from the outdoor viewing areas. The hospitality page does not promise a particular box or window position; agree the room and any seating requests with the office when booking.

Food and drink

The racecourse builds private-box catering around the group, with buffet choices and optional extras arranged in advance.

Buffet packages

Published choices range from finger buffets to a four-course carvery buffet. Hexham says it can tailor packages to the group and budget.

Afternoon tea or brunch

The hospitality page says afternoon tea can be added or brunch served if requested when arranging the booking.

Private hospitality bar

When all three boxes are opened together, Hexham says the corporate space has a bar and betting facility. Confirm service details for an individual box with the office.

Accessible lift

The Ramshaw Stand has a lift from ground to second floor. Accessible toilets are on the first floor; ask the office about the route and room setup for your booking.

Dress code

Hexham has no strict dress code in the public areas, and jeans and shorts are allowed; football tops are not. Fancy dress is acceptable if it is respectable and does not offend other racegoers. The racecourse asks hospitality guests to wear smart casual clothing. The boxes are indoors, but dress for the weather when walking to outdoor viewing areas.

Getting in

Private-box guests use the racecourse entrance and follow the booking details for the Ramshaw Stand and their named room. Hexham does not publish a separate hospitality gate or a standard opening time for every meeting; individual raceday listings give gate times. Advance booking is essential, and the office handles box enquiries on 01434 606881. No food can be carried into the stand unless purchased at the course, and outside alcohol is prohibited; bag searches take place.

Accessibility

The Ramshaw Stand has a lift between the ground and second floors, and an accessible toilet on the first floor. Blue Badge parking is on the tarmac area behind the Bramble and Tudor Bars and Henderson Suite; tell the stewards on arrival and display the badge. Assistance dogs are welcome in all areas. A carer accompanying a paying disabled customer receives complimentary admission to the Paddock or Club Enclosure; ask the office how to include the carer with a hospitality booking. Confirm access into the specific box in advance.
