Official Dress Code
Officially there is no dress code – their motto is ‘Dress to feel Your Best’ even if that is a nice sweatshirt, pair of jeans and clean trainers. However for a big race meeting such as The November Meeting most racegoers choose to dress up, but 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.
