The view

You get a fair view of the racing from the grandstand and rails, and can walk to the Parade Ring to see the runners before each race.

There are plenty of food stands and bars, and no restrictions on where you can drink in this enclosure. At the Rowley Mile, the Boulevard Food Court is by the entrance.

Facilities

Dress code

There’s no formal dress code: dress to feel your best.

Getting in

Gates usually open two hours before the first race. Check whether your meeting is on the Rowley Mile (spring and autumn) or the July Course (summer). Parking is free, and a free shuttle bus stops outside the Grandstand & Paddock entrance at the Rowley Mile.

Accessibility

Collect a free personal assistant ticket from the Free Pass Office on the day, with photo ID for the assistant and proof of your ticket (don’t choose print-at-home). Blue Badge parking can’t be pre-booked; show your badge and a marshal will direct you. There’s accessible race viewing in every enclosure.

• Take the free shuttle bus at the Rowley Mile: it stops right outside.
• Add free child tickets when you book adults.
