The view
The marquee is trackside next to the final fence, where runners pass along the finishing straight. The racecourse promotes its closeness to the action but does not promise that every table has an uninterrupted track view. The venue has not published a guaranteed view from every seat or room in this package, so do not assume that every place has an unobstructed sightline. The map locates the hospitality spaces; ask which room or stand applies to the date you are booking.
Food and drink
Hospitality is sold as a fixture-specific package. The actual menu, service timings and inclusions can differ between the named packages and dates.
Fixture-specific catering
The racecourse says marquee hospitality is tailored to each race day; its themed offers can change with the event.
Food and drinks
The official 2027 hospitality page describes the venue as a catered marquee package; exact courses and drinks are not standardised online.
Public concessions
Bars and eateries in the public enclosures are available according to the admission included in the chosen package.
Facilities
Trackside position
The marquee is next to the final fence beside the finishing straight.
Private or group hire
The racecourse lists both private and group options on selected race days.
Temporary venue
This is an event-specific marquee, so the page does not promise that it will be present at every fixture.
Dress code
Uttoxeter has no strict enclosure dress code. The racecourse recommends smart casual clothing; its firm restrictions are sporting team shirts and offensive fancy dress. Most of the meeting is outdoors and routes include grass, so choose weatherproof layers and comfortable shoes with grip. The racecourse says hospitality has no separate dress code.
Getting in
All enclosures and hospitality use the main entrance on Wood Lane, with signs directing visitors from the car parks. For the Sunday 4 October 2026 fixture, the published opening time was 10:50am and the first race was 12:51pm; timings vary by meeting. Tickets arrive by email, although Premier tickets are posted unless bought within two weeks, when they are held at the gate. New on-the-day gate sales are card only. Bags are searched; outside food is not allowed in Premier or Grandstand & Paddock, and no outside alcohol is allowed anywhere. Hospitality access is also through the main Wood Lane entrance; follow signs or staff directions to the named room.
Accessibility
Designated accessible parking is on tarmac close to the main entrance; most facilities are at ground level and designated toilets are available. A wheelchair viewing point overlooks the track and has a dedicated CCTV monitor. Personal assistants receive free admission when accompanying a paying visitor with accessibility needs: bring evidence such as PIP, DLA, Attendance Allowance or AFIP paperwork to collect the pass at the entrance. You can email info@uttoxeter-racecourse.co.uk at least 48 hours ahead to request arrangements; availability applies. Lift access is published for the 1907 and Prince Edward boxes; the venue does not describe a dedicated step-free route or reserved wheelchair position for every hospitality room, so request details for the specific package.
Children and families
Contact the hospitality team to ask about the under-18 ticket and catering arrangement for your date; no standard child price is published. For ordinary admission, the racecourse says children aged 17 and under can enter free with a paying adult, up to three children per adult, subject to exclusions. That general offer does not settle a child’s meal, reserved seat or package price. Seat Unique directs customers to contact the racecourse to arrange under-18 hospitality tickets.
Tips
- First confirm the marquee is offered on your meeting: the racecourse limits it to selected race days.
- Ask whether your booking is a private hire or a shared group package, and what food and drinks are included.
- Request the position of your table and the access route, especially if anyone in your group has mobility needs.
- Ask the hospitality team to confirm the specific room, service times and child arrangements for your fixture: the public listings vary by race day.
