Where your ticket takes you

• The Royal Windsor Grandstand.
• The Sprint Bar and the Lavender Lawn.
• The main Parade Ring.
• Rail-side standing and unreserved seating.

Not included

• The Club Enclosure’s Jubilee Stand and private bar (unless it’s a combined-enclosure day).
• Hospitality in the 1866 restaurant and private boxes.

The view

You watch from the Royal Windsor Grandstand or the rails, with the figure-of-eight track in front of you, so in longer races the horses pass the stands more than once.

Food and drink

Facilities

Dress code

Smart casual is the general standard in the Grandstand. Wear comfortable shoes: seating is unreserved and you’ll be on your feet much of the day.

Getting in

Gates usually open two hours before the first race (earlier on feature days). Parking is free, and there’s a taxi drop-off inside the main gates. Show your e-ticket on your phone or a printout.

Accessibility

Windsor has accessible parking right of the horse statues, a raised viewing platform just past the winning post (reached by a slope), lifts in the Royal Windsor Grandstand and Paddock Pavilion, and accessible toilets across the course. One free personal assistant ticket is available with a full-paying adult ticket: call 01753 498 400.

Children and families

Children aged 17 and under go free with an adult and don’t need a ticket in advance; a free ticket is issued on the day (exclusions may apply on some fixtures).

Tips

• Arrive early on Monday nights to get a spot by the rails.
• Come by boat from the town centre to avoid the traffic.
• Book in advance: it’s £5 cheaper than the gate.
