The view

The Grandstand is the best option if you want to move around the course. Both public enclosures offer trackside viewing, while the Grandstand has tiered steps and access to the Parade Ring and Winners’ Enclosure. You can watch the horses being saddled and paraded before a race, then choose a trackside spot or the steps for the finish. The Grandstand ticket also includes the central Course Enclosure, so you can switch between those views and its open picnic areas.

Food and drink

The Grandstand has the broadest food choice at Redcar, ranging from seated hospitality to casual food.

Facilities

Dress code

There is no formal dress code at Redcar, so smart clothes, casual clothes and jeans are accepted. The racecourse recommends smart casual for hospitality guests, but this is not a requirement for general Grandstand admission. Most viewing is outdoors, so comfortable shoes and a waterproof layer are useful.

Getting in

Use the Grandstand main entrance off Redcar Lane, postcode TS10 2FD. Pre-paid tickets and annual badge holders may also enter via the Course Enclosure; Lumley Road is not an entrance and is exit-only after the fifth race. The admission page lists gate payment by cash or card and warns that ticket checks and bag searches may take place. Grandstand holders can use both enclosures.

Accessibility

Redcar offers a free Digital Access Card and a companion ticket process for those who need essential assistance. Reserved Blue Badge parking is available in both enclosures. The Grandstand entrance is on Redcar Lane; ask access officer Amy Fair at info@redcarracing.co.uk or 01642 484 068 about accessible viewing, toilets or routes within the older buildings. The racecourse notes that some facilities date from the 1960s.

Children and families

Accompanied under-18s are admitted free to all Redcar fixtures. The Course Family Enclosure, included with this ticket, has a children’s playground and picnic benches. No separate public Grandstand child price is listed because accompanied under-18s go free.

Tips

• Use the Redcar Lane gate for the Grandstand; a Course ticket alone cannot enter this enclosure.
• Arrive early if you want the limited trackside car park, which must be reserved with Grandstand admission; the main car park is free and first come, first served.
• A Grandstand ticket also lets you use the Course Enclosure, so take a picnic there if you want an outdoor break.
• Bring a card or cash for gate admission; the published admission page says both are accepted, while individual facilities may differ.

Upgrading

A Course Enclosure ticket can be upgraded to Grandstand admission on race days, subject to the racecourse’s transfer arrangements; Grandstand admission already covers both public enclosures. Hospitality restaurants and private boxes are booked separately.
