Course Enclosure (New Year’s Eve only) at Warwick

Who it suits

• Visitors who want new year’s eve racing, music and a party atmosphere as the main feature of their day.
• First-time racegoers who would like a straightforward place to return to between races.
• Groups choosing their ticket around viewing, food and how much of the site they can explore.

Ticket prices

Online New Year’s Eve event tickets were advertised from £25; the listing does not split that starting price by enclosure.

Where your ticket takes you

• The Course Enclosure in the centre of the racecourse, opposite the Main Enclosure.
• An outdoor tiered grandstand with a head-on view of the course and finishing line.
• A covered marquee with seating and live music during the day and after the final race.
• The Course Enclosure’s own food stalls, bar concessions and betting facilities.

Not included

• Parade Ring or inside facilities.
• The Main Enclosure’s covered grandstand, bars and hospitality rooms.

The view

The outdoor tiered stand faces the finish line from the infield, with a head-on view of the course. A separate covered marquee hosts live music and provides seating, giving visitors somewhere sheltered between races. The course page describes the setting as close to the action but without the Main Enclosure facilities. There is no Parade Ring access from this side.

Food and drink

The Course Enclosure has its own food and bar concessions. Warwick’s New Year’s Eve page says the event ticket includes access to these concessions and live music; menus are fixture-specific.

Facilities

Dress code

Warwick has no formal dress code. The Jockey Club’s guidance is to dress in what feels comfortable; clean trainers, jeans, dresses and suits are all in keeping with its advice. Team sports kit is discouraged, and fancy dress must not be offensive. Much of the course is open air, so bring layers or a brolly if the forecast calls for them.

Getting in

Course Enclosure guests still enter through the Main Entrance beside Bread and Meat Close. For the 31 December 2026 meeting, gates were published as opening at 10:20am, with the first race at 12:20pm; times can change by fixture.

Accessibility

Warwick has allocated accessible parking by the Main Entrance on Bread and Meat Close; show a Blue Badge to the steward. Raised viewing platforms are adjacent to the Parade Ring, in the Main Enclosure and trackside in the Course Enclosure. Wheelchair viewing platforms are also provided on both levels of the main grandstand; bars, catering facilities and accessible toilets are listed on the venue accessibility page. A complimentary personal assistant ticket requires advance application: call when buying your ticket, then send evidence of DLA, AA, PIP, AFIP or registered blind status with matching photo ID at least five days before the event. A Blue Badge alone is not proof and passes are not issued on the day.

Children and families

Under-18s have free admission at Warwick fixtures. Each must attend with a parent or responsible adult aged 21 or over, with no more than three under-18s per adult. Children aged 15 or younger must stay with their adult throughout the visit; 16- and 17-year-olds may move around the venue but their responsible adult must remain on site. A child’s admission is separate from the cost of hospitality food or a reserved restaurant table.

Tips

• This enclosure opens only for Warwick’s New Year’s Eve fixture. It is not a lower-priced option at ordinary meetings.
• Plan to stay on the infield side: you cannot cross the track to the Main Enclosure on this ticket.
• The online event page displayed New Year’s Eve tickets from £25 in 2026 but did not state a separate amount for Course Enclosure admission.
• If anyone in your group needs step-free viewing, Warwick lists a trackside accessible platform in the Course Enclosure.
