SUNDAY DEPARTURE IS LIMITED TO BEFORE 9AM OR AFTER 12.00

On Arrival
Upon arrival you will be met by our Volunteer Duty Reception staff. If you have not booked, we will collect your fees – £15 for one night, £25 for two nights. If you have already paid, we will have a record of you and issue you with:

  • Tent/Caravan Proof of Payment Tag
  • Site Instructions
  • Bin Bag, please use this bag for all your rubbish and deposit it in one of the skips before you leave. We do need to leave the racecourse in a clean and tidy condition.
  • You will be guided to your pitch by our volunteer “runners”. We would advise you have 6 metre clearance either side of your tent/caravan for your own personal safety. We would appreciate your assistance in achieving this safety measure. Our volunteers will work towards achieving this guideline with you.

The racetrack will be cordoned off to prevent access – which is strictly forbidden. We would very much appreciate your co-operation in keeping this area off limits to all. Any misuse of the racecourse could jeopardise our ability to train & hold future events.
