Where your ticket takes you

• Every public area of the racecourse.
• Colonel Porter’s Grandstand.
• The Premier private lawns.
• The Parade Ring, bars, food and betting.

Not included

• Restaurant and private suite hospitality, booked separately.

The view

You can watch from Colonel Porter’s Grandstand or the private lawns, and move anywhere else in the public areas.

Food and drink

Premier racegoers have their own bars as well as every public bar and food outlet on the racecourse, so there’s always somewhere to eat between races.

Facilities

Dress code

Smart attire is preferred, with no sportswear or trainers.

Getting in

Book online in advance; the racecourse no longer offers ticket collection on the day except for carers. Parking is free on grass. Buses 43 and 44 from Haymarket stop just outside the Racecourse Road entrance.

Accessibility

Newcastle has accessible parking next to the turnstiles (free for Blue Badge holders, bookable in advance), ramped access to each enclosure, lifts to all floors, accessible toilets, and a viewing area over the Parade Ring and finish. Personal assistants get in free: buy a full-price ticket, then claim the free badge at the turnstiles with proof of your needs.

Tips

• Choose Premier for the Fighting Fifth to see everything from Colonel Porter’s Grandstand.
• Leave the trainers at home.
• Book the restaurant if you want a guaranteed table.

Upgrading

For a sit-down meal with a guaranteed table, book the track-facing restaurant or a private suite overlooking the racecourse. Hospitality includes your admission, and the racecourse can cater for dietary needs if you email ahead.
