Premier Enclosure at Nottingham

Who it suits

• Visitors attending Ladies Day on Saturday 8 May 2027 who want a dedicated premium area as well as the General Admission attractions.
• Racegoers who value a balcony view near the winning post and a second outlook over the Parade Ring from the Centenary Bar.
• Groups interested in the Style Awards, VIP Lawn, Robin Hood Bar and the after-racing DJ set as part of the day.

Ticket prices

The official Premier booking page displayed these prices for the 8 May 2027 fixture when checked on 3 October 2026. They are current online booking prices; a separate on-the-day Premier price is not published. The event page advertises booking before 31 January to save, but does not specify a later gate price.

Where your ticket takes you

• Every area available to a General Admission ticket holder, including the covered Grandstand, Parade Ring, Winning Line views and Winners’ Enclosure viewing.
• The Centenary Bar on the first floor, with its trackside balcony near the winning post and a second aspect towards the Parade Ring.
• The trackside Centenary VIP Lawn and the ground-floor VIP Lawn, plus the Robin Hood Bar.
• Premier-only access to the Ladies Day Style Awards, Centenary balcony, additional toilet facilities and the advertised après-racing DJ set.

Not included

• Sherwoods Restaurant dining or a private hospitality box; both are separate bookings.
• A Premier Enclosure at ordinary meetings: the course says this ticketed area opens only on Ladies Day.

The view

The main distinction is the extra view from the Centenary Bar. Nottingham describes this first-floor bar as dual-aspect: one side looks over the track and winning post, with a balcony for trackside viewing; the opposite side overlooks the Parade Ring. The ground-level VIP Lawn gives another outdoor place to watch, while the ticket also retains the public Grandstand and General Admission viewing areas. This provides several vantage points and a covered option, but it does not reserve a particular balcony spot or seat. The Premier ticket is limited-capacity and is sold specifically for the 8 May 2027 Ladies Day fixture.

Food and drink

The ticket gives access to Premier bars and food concessions; it does not include a seated restaurant meal.

Facilities

Dress code

Nottingham does not impose a formal dress code: its general advice is to dress to feel your best, and says clean trainers, jeans and a sweatshirt are acceptable. Ladies Day is promoted around fashion and its Style Awards, so many visitors choose occasionwear, but the venue does not say it is required for the Premier ticket. Wear shoes suitable for walking between the Grandstand, lawn and Parade Ring. The trackside lawn is outdoors, so bring layers or a waterproof in case of changeable weather. The racecourse may refuse offensive or derogatory fancy dress and asks visitors not to wear team kits.

Getting in

The Premier ticket is for Ladies Day on Saturday 8 May 2027. Use the public entrance shown on the ticket; the Premier enclosure page does not name a separate gate. The event listing had gates, first race and last race marked unpublished when checked on 3 October 2026, so there is no reliable Premier-specific arrival time yet. Nottingham’s standard schedule is gates 90 minutes before the first race on non-feature days and two hours before on feature days, subject to change; use the meeting’s issued timing when published. The official page lists free parking. Premier tickets are limited capacity and the booking page warns that the area can sell out.

Accessibility

The Centenary Bar is upstairs and the racecourse says lifts in the Centenary building serve its upper facilities. Nottingham provides accessible viewing ramps at the track and Parade Ring, accessible viewing areas and four RADAR-key accessible toilets, including one on the first floor of the Centenary Stand. Blue Badge parking near entrances is free but limited and first come, first served. Email nottingham@thejockeyclub.co.uk on the same day you buy your ticket to apply for one complimentary personal-assistant ticket if you need a companion to avoid substantial disadvantage. Confirm the best lift route to the VIP lawn and the balcony with the venue on 0115 958 0620 if step-free access is important.

Full accessibility guide for Nottingham

Children and families

The official booking page lists a Premier child ticket at £20 for Ladies Day on 8 May 2027; the adult online rate is £42. Nottingham’s general FAQ requires every under-18 to enter with a parent or responsible adult aged 21 or older, with no more than three under-18s per adult. Children aged 15 and under must stay with their responsible adult throughout the visit; 16- and 17-year-olds may move around but their adult must remain on site. The racecourse’s usual under-18 free admission does not apply here because the ticket page explicitly lists a paid child Premier ticket.

Tips

• The Premier ticket is only sold for Ladies Day, not the ordinary Nottingham meetings; the listed date is Saturday 8 May 2027.
• Use the balcony for a trackside view near the finish, then visit the opposite side of the Centenary Bar for the Parade Ring outlook.
• The 2027 online booking page listed £42 for an adult and £20 for a child; no on-the-day price was shown.
• Ladies Day gate and race times had not been published on the event page when checked on 3 October 2026; use the actual ticket and meeting details for the day’s schedule.

Upgrading

A General Admission ticket does not include the Premier areas. For the 8 May 2027 Ladies Day, the official booking page sells a separate Premier ticket; availability is limited. No general upgrade price or on-course upgrade process is published.
