Your visit, step by step
Personal assistant admission
A personal assistant can enter free with a paying visitor who meets the racecourse criteria. Claim the ticket at the entrance and bring supporting evidence; the accessibility page lists benefit documentation and a Blue Badge with photo ID among accepted proof.
Step-free viewing and toilets
All public ground-floor areas in the Grandstand enclosure are accessible, with wheelchair viewing ramps beside the horse walk and near the parade ring. Accessible toilets are in the betting hall, food court and rear Food Pantry; a lift serves the first-floor restaurant and viewing balcony.
Parking and assistance dogs
Accessible parking is available in Car Parks A and B. Guide, hearing and medical alert dogs are welcome on leads. The racecourse advises visitors to email at least 48 hours ahead when arranging free personal-assistant admission.
