Traffic & Arrival Information:

 

We look forward to welcoming you to Exeter Racecourse for our New Year’s Day Raceday. This is an extremely popular raceday, therefore we strongly advise you to allow plenty of time to arrive. Gates open at 10am.

 

If you are travelling from Exeter and the M5 we ask that you follow the temporary signage to the racecourse and use the A380 rather than the A38, to ensure you have a smooth journey to the course. We also encourage carpooling where possible.

 

If you chose to arrive closer to the first race, please expect to experience queuing during your journey to the racecourse and on entry to the carparks.

 

If you plan to travel by Taxi, please PRE BOOK your taxi’s to avoid delays.

 

Owners and Trainers: please note that all vehicles in the O&T car park will be directed to exit via the Haldon Diner Gate. For those travelling back towards Exeter, full details on the diversion will be provided in your PASS entries letter.
