Where your ticket takes you

The package includes a hospitality badge and racecourse admission.
The restaurant is on Level 2 of the Petch Stand within the Grandstand Enclosure.
Guests can go down one level to indoor live-racing viewing and the Grandstand steppings.
Grandstand admission also includes public access to the Course Enclosure facilities.

The view

The restaurant has TVs showing the racing and a balcony overlooking the Winners’ Enclosure. Redcar says diners who want to watch live racing can go one level lower for indoor viewing and access to the Grandstand steppings. The hospitality badge lets guests use the wider Grandstand areas too, including trackside viewing and the Parade Ring. The balcony is described as looking over the Winners’ Enclosure, rather than the whole course.

Dress code

There is no formal dress code at Redcar. The racecourse recommends smart casual dress for hospitality guests. Formalwear is not needed; take comfortable shoes and a coat for moving between the restaurant and outdoor viewing areas.

Getting in

Use the Grandstand main entrance off Redcar Lane, postcode TS10 2FD. The Voltigeur is on Level 2 of the Petch Stand. Its package includes a hospitality badge and admission. Book online or via the racecourse office; bookings close at 1pm the day before racing, subject to availability. Tickets are checked and bags may be searched at the entrance.

Accessibility

Redcar operates a free Digital Access Card and companion-ticket scheme. The restaurant page does not specify lift, toilet or step-free details for Level 2, so contact access officer Amy Fair at info@redcarracing.co.uk or 01642 484 068 about the route and table access. Reserved Blue Badge spaces are available in the enclosures. Grandstand and Course have separate gates, so use the Grandstand entrance for this booking.

Children and families

Children receive a discount on the hospitality price depending on age, but Redcar does not publish the child amount. Accompanied under-18s are free for general admission. Ask the restaurant to confirm the meal-package price for each child before booking.

Tips

Pick two courses if you would rather choose a starter and main or a main and dessert; the package does not require a fixed pairing.
Use the lower level for indoor live viewing, then return to the restaurant for the reserved table and its TV coverage.
If you want cream tea, avoid an evening meeting: the racecourse says this add-on is not offered then.
Book early for a popular meeting and include dietary requirements when arranging the menu.
