Wetherby has three general enclosures: Premier, Paddock and Park and View. Park and View is the cheapest and most basic, Premier the most comprehensive. You can transfer from Paddock up to Premier, but there’s no crossing between Park and View, in the middle of the course, and the Paddock. Under-18s go free in all of them.
