Part of the spectacle of the races is being able to dress for the occasion, so deciding what to wear is a big decision. But don’t let that worry you, we’re a friendly and welcoming racecourse and hats are not essential, unless you want to wear one, of course!
We’re not strict with our dress code; other than sports team shirts, offensive fancy dress, ripped jeans, and sports trainers are not allowed.
We have events all year round and specialise in Saturday night races, so the key thing is to dress appropriately for the weather and time of day or night, as our events are predominantly outdoors.
Please note, we also host greyhound racing at the same venue here at Wolverhampton Racecourse. If you are joining us for greyhound racing there may be different dress code requirements. Please check on our greyhound website for more information.
Many of our female guests at Wolverhampton Races choose a smart and stylish look. While formal dresses aren’t required, we recommend smart jeans, tailored trousers or skirts, or an elegant dress, paired with a stylish top or blouse for regular race events.
Many of our guests at Wolverhampton Races go for a smarter style of outfit. We don’t expect full suits, but we do recommend smart jeans or tailored shorts and a collared shirt for regular race events.
Please be aware we race all year round, and in all kinds of weather, so in the winter months it would be wise to dress for the elements. This includes wearing waterproof coats, appropriate footwear, and warm accessories such as hats and gloves. Racing events are mainly outdoors so come dressed depending on the weather. This also means making sure in summer to wear sun cream if it’s a day time meeting and we’re having a heatwave.
