Where your ticket takes you

Not included

The view

Chasers is on the ground floor of the Hatherleigh Stand and has panoramic course views. The restaurant’s own page specifies an exclusive outdoor viewing area opposite the winning post, a particularly useful spot for seeing the finish. Dining is indoors, while the outdoor area gives a break from the table between courses or before a race. Raceday admission is included, as are a racecard and complimentary car parking on the listed package.

Set menu

A three-course set menu is included in the current package listing.

Facilities

Table service

Outdoor viewing

The restaurant has its own external viewing area opposite the winning post.

Accessibility

Restaurants have lift access; contact the course about the route and any seating needs.

Dress code

Smart casual practical choice Wincanton’s published guidance is to dress to feel your best. There is no requirement for formal racewear; avoid team kits and offensive fancy dress. Most of the day is outdoors, so comfortable shoes, a warm layer and a waterproof are useful in Somerset weather.

Getting in

Hospitality entrance; fixture-specific gate time Advance tickets are emailed and can be shown on a phone or printed. Walk-up tickets are offered for fixtures that have not sold out unless that fixture says otherwise; on-the-day payment is card only. Wincanton does not publish a single all-season gate opening time or a general bag-size rule on its visitor pages, so this guide gives the confirmed event-specific details rather than guessing.

Accessibility

Wincanton lists accessible facilities across its public enclosures, including accessible toilets, accessible catering and marked viewing areas. The Premier has an elevated viewing platform overlooking the winning post and reserved wheelchair space in the Hatherleigh viewing area; the Grandstand has a raised outdoor viewing area. Accessible parking is available close to the entrance gates, though spaces are limited on Boxing Day. One complimentary personal assistant ticket is available where needed; call 01963 435840 on the same day as buying the racegoer’s ticket to guarantee availability. Hospitality restaurants and boxes have lift access. Contact Wincanton before booking if you need a particular space or route.

Children and families

Under-18s are free for most general-admission fixtures with an adult booking, though some high-demand fixtures require paid child tickets. Chasers has no separate child hospitality price published. Because a meal and reserved seat are part of the package, arrange a child place with the restaurant team before purchasing. Under-18s must be accompanied under Wincanton’s adult supervision rules.
