• Racegoers who want an indoor place to watch from between visits trackside.
• Groups wanting a Premier bar and Tote facilities without booking a full meal package.

The view

The Premier Suite is on the first floor of the grandstand and looks over the Tapeta track and Parade Ring. You can step outside to watch trackside, then return indoors between races. The 2026 event listings describe the Parade Ring view as elevated and panoramic.

Food and drink

Premier admission includes access to the Premier bar; meal packages are sold separately on selected meetings.

Facilities

Dress code

Wolverhampton has a relaxed general dress code, but its FAQ says some Premier ticket options have more formal rules. The specific ticket page does not set out a full Premier clothing list, so smart casual clothing is a sensible choice; sports team shirts, offensive fancy dress, ripped jeans and sports trainers are not permitted. Much of the day is outdoors, so dress for the weather.

Getting in

Premier ticket holders enter through the hotel entrance rather than the Grandstand turnstiles. Gates usually open 90 minutes to two hours before the first race, though feature fixtures may open earlier. Tickets scan from a phone or tablet. The racecourse does not publish a separate bag allowance on the pages checked; food and drink from outside are not allowed.

Accessibility

The first-floor Premier viewing area is reached by lift. Accessible toilets are available in every enclosure and designated Blue Badge parking is near the hotel and main entrance, first come, first served. Buy the guest ticket first; a personal assistant can claim free entry at the turnstiles with proof of need. Email info@wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk at least 24 hours ahead; subject to availability.

Children and families

Children aged 17 and under usually enter free with a full-paying adult; each adult may bring up to three children. Collect the child ticket at the ticket office or turnstile. Some Festival and Live After Racing events are excluded. A separate child price for Premier admission is not published.

Tips

• Use the hotel entrance for Premier; the Grandstand turnstiles are for Grandstand tickets.
• Arrive in time to visit the Parade Ring before the first race, then use the first-floor suite for an elevated view.
• The 2026 ticket page shows lower group prices for parties of ten or more; groups over 40 should phone the ticket team.
• Bars and food outlets take card or contactless only. Bring cash only if you plan to use a bookmaker that accepts it.

Upgrading

The FAQ says you can ask at hotel reception to upgrade to another enclosure on the day if space is available.
