Your visit, step by step

  1. Request a companion badge

    The racecourse provides a complimentary carer’s badge at the entrance for disabled visitors and wheelchair users who show an Access Card with the +1 symbol or equivalent evidence that a companion is required.

  2. Accessible parking

    Free accessible spaces are close to the entrances at both Luddington and Paddock Lane for vehicles displaying a valid disabled permit. Spaces are first come, first served on racedays.

  3. Viewing and facilities

    In the Main Enclosure, wheelchair users can reach the covered first-floor viewing area in the Warwickshire Stand by lift. Parade Ring viewing is available from a raised area beside the Winners’ Enclosure and paddock.
