Private Chalets at Southwell

Who it suits

• A large group wanting to stay together in a private room with its own garden area.
• Guests who want a private bar, screens and dedicated betting rather than a shared restaurant table.
• Corporate hosts or families marking an occasion with dining and race access in one booking.

Ticket prices

The 2026 brochure describes admission, a three-course set menu, afternoon tea, a tipster talk, dedicated betting and a private bar for chalet guests. It shows several nearby starting prices in the page layout but does not unambiguously link a figure to the chalet, so no chalet price is quoted here. No on-the-day price is published.

Where your ticket takes you

• A private chalet and its garden area in the middle of the course, positioned on the winning line.
• The package includes an admission ticket, so guests can use public racecourse areas as well as their booked space.
• The brochure lists a private bar and dedicated betting facilities for the chalet package.
• A three-course set menu and afternoon tea are included in the published chalet package description.

Not included

• A public admission-only ticket: the chalet is sold as a hospitality package and includes admission.
• Any add-on drinks package unless it is specified in the booking; the brochure describes the chalet’s private bar separately.

The view

The chalets occupy the centre course right on the winning line, with a private garden and outdoor furniture. They provide a private base between races, while the included admission lets guests use the public areas for a different view. The racecourse brochure says TV screens are fitted in the chalets; it does not specify that every chalet has a direct track-facing window.

Food and drink

Chalet hospitality combines a private room with a substantial meal and bar service.

Facilities

Dress code

Southwell recommends a smarter style for hospitality, including smart jeans or tailored shorts and a collared shirt for gentlemen. Its stated restrictions are sporting team shirts and offensive fancy dress. Chalets have outdoor space, and the racecourse is predominantly outdoors, so choose weather-appropriate layers and practical footwear.

Getting in

Use the hospitality entrance shown on the course map, rather than the General Enclosure entrance. Hospitality tickets are emailed, normally two weeks before the fixture, or immediately if booked inside that period; mobile tickets can be scanned. The chalet offer is an advance hospitality booking, and no gate-sale price or walk-up chalet availability is published.

Accessibility

The official map identifies a hospitality entrance, accessible parking and a first-floor lift serving the Minster Suite and Seasons Restaurant. It does not state the chalet’s precise step-free route or whether the chalet garden is level, so contact hospitality before paying if you need this detail. Accessible toilets and viewing platforms are provided around the public course; free personal-assistant admission is available with proof of need.

Children and families

Children aged 17 and under usually receive free race admission with a paying adult, up to three children per adult. The chalet is a paid dining package, and no child meal or chalet price is published in the 2026 brochure. Ask the racecourse to confirm how children are accommodated in a private chalet booking.

Tips

• Ask the sales team to confirm the package price and exactly which bar inclusions apply; the 2026 brochure layout does not clearly link a rate to the chalet.
• Use the private garden for time between races and go to public viewing areas if you want to move closer to the Parade Ring.
• Confirm the group size and any dietary needs when enquiring; the brochure does not publish a chalet capacity or full menu.
• If step-free access matters, request the chalet’s route and garden surface before booking.
