THE PARKING OPTIONS are to use the General Parking to the North of the Racetrack Building. This is free but can be a ten plus minute walk depending on how late you arrive. The racetrack provides a free transit bus from the sidewalk on the perimeter of the lot. Premium Parking is to the South and much closer. It is $10 per vehicle. If you have a disabled badge, then you can park in the special lot just above the building. However, it is first come, first served.
There are multiple vendors inside and outside the building. Everything (with one exception) is contactless. If you have no card to use, racetrack gift cards can be purchased from Customer Service. The Britevents Northwet reserved area is close to an outside bar and betting kiosk South of the "Park".

The initial meeting point to collect your tickets will be at the Britevents Northwest WILL CALL TABLE outside the main building close to the Disabled parking lot. You must collect your tickets between 12.15 pm and 1.15 pm. Allow plenty of time for traffic and parking up, as it is a busy and popular race meeting. The TRACKSIDE RESERVED AREA is outside to the North of the Main Building between the track and the "Park" (grassy area). Look for the Union Jack Flagpole. Someone will be there from 12.15 pm onwards.
