Where your ticket takes you

• Premier Enclosure and Premier Grandstand.
• Parade Ring viewing and the public bars, eateries and betting outlets.
• The racecourse describes Premier admission as allowing access to all public areas, with indoor and outdoor seating options.
• Premier package holders may also use facilities included in their particular hospitality booking, where stated.

Not included

• Hospitality restaurants, private boxes or other packages are not included just because they are inside the public areas.
• Outside food is not allowed in Premier; alcohol may not be brought into the racecourse.

The view

Premier admission is marketed for the best views and access to the Premier Grandstand, though the official page does not promise a reserved seat. The ticket also includes the Parade Ring, useful for seeing the horses before a race. Its broad public-area access makes it easier to move between viewing points and food outlets; arrive early if you want a particular place on a busy fixture.

Food and drink

Food and drink can be bought around the public areas. Uttoxeter says outlets vary with the fixture, so the full choice is not guaranteed at every meeting.

Facilities

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.

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.

Children and families

Children aged 17 and under can attend free with a paying adult, up to three children per adult, although exclusions apply to some live-after-racing events. No child ticket is needed in advance for standard admission: the free ticket is issued at the entrance. This is a racecourse entry offer; it does not promise a free restaurant meal or a reserved hospitality seat.

Tips

• Use Premier if your group wants to move around the public parts of the venue; it is the ticket the racecourse describes as giving the widest public-area access.
• For the Parade Ring, check the racecard and go before the horses are called to the course; the viewing area gets busy around popular races.
• Carry a bank card for race-day gate purchases and for the cashless bar and food outlets.
• Treat £35 as a displayed early-bird figure, not a guaranteed current sale price: the 2027 page reported the category unavailable when checked.
