Official Dress Code

Officially there is no dress code – their motto is ‘Dress to feel Your Best’ – the more relaxed and comfortable you feel, the more likely you are to have a great time. So that could mean wearing a nice sweatshirt, pair of jeans and clean trainers or for a big race meeting such as Tingle Creek Festival you may choose to dress up.  Whichever you decide, remember to dress for the weather. Hats are not required. Fancy dress is permitted as long as the outfit is not offensive and the racecourse reserves the right to decline entry should the need arise. Sports team kits are not permitted. We Say… Concentrate on your outerwear, it will be on view for most of the time.
