With Ladies Day just around the corner, we want to ensure you have all the information you need to have the best day possible! Therefore, we have put together a list of some of the questions we are asked most frequently and have answered them all in one place.
“Do you accept cash?”
There are no cash machines on site. All entrances, racecard kiosks, catering and bars accept debit or credit card payments only. The tote, along with bookmakers DO accept cash payment and some may also accept debit card payments (no credit cards)
“What time should I arrive?”
Gates open at 14.50pm, we recommend arriving as early as possible before the first race at 16.50PM (the first race time is subject to change, please double check from Tuesday PM), soak up the atmosphere, grab a drink and get ready for a great day out!
DJ After Racing
We have a local DJ playing in Pavilion after racing. The DJ will commence 10 minutes after the last race with a 60 minute set.
“Can Children come racing?”

"How do I enter the Style Awards?”
For those who'd like to enter this year's Style Competition, make sure you head to the flower wall when you arrive to have your picture taken. There will also be a spotter in the crowd looking out for any particularly stunning outfits as well. The shortlist will be shown on the big screen and invited into the parade ring, for the final judging to take place and overall 2022 Style Competition winner will be announced on the stage after the last race.
“What should I do before I arrive at the racecourse?”
Make sure (if you have an E-ticket) that you have screenshotted or saved the ticket to your camera roll prior to arriving at the racecourse. To ensure you get in as quickly as possible, make sure the brightness on your mobile device is set to ‘full’ to ensure your ticket can be easily scanned.
