Windsor has two enclosures, the Grandstand and the Club. On many racedays they’re combined, so one ticket covers both. The Royal River package adds a boat trip along the Thames to the racecourse’s own jetty, and the 1866 restaurant and private boxes are booked as hospitality. Children aged 17 and under go free.
