If you park your car on the hill, there is a charge and it can be pre-booked.


Pedestrians can access the hill for free.

If you have Grandstand and Queen Stand tickets you can go to the Parade ring.

 

However, if you have Londsdale, Upper Tatts or The Derby Family Festival tickets, you won’t have access to the Parade Ring. 

You can bring your own picnic in the following enclosures:

  • The Derby Family Festival
  • The Hill
  • Upper Tattenham
  • Londsdale 

 

All other enclosures don’t allow picnics, alcohol or furniture to be brought in.

We take cash within the car parks. However, with the volume of guests coming in, there may be a longer wait than usual using the card machines.

 

We don’t accept cash anywhere else on the racecourse bar the Bookmakers. If anything changes, we’ll update everyone using the pre-event communications and on the website - which we advise checking ahead of the event.

No, unfortunately all restaurants have to be pre booked. You’re welcome to talk about upgrade opportunities with Hospitality ahead of the event.
