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.
Our Ladies Day is the ultimate girls’ party night and many of our guests choose to go all out on their outfits when they come to this event. We also host a Style Awards with amazing prizes so to dress to impress is the aim of the game. Hats and fascinators are often worn which complement the stylish outfits we see every year. For other events, most of our guests choose to dress smartly to celebrate a day or night at the races.
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 and style it up for feature race days such as Ladies Night. At these events men often wear smart lounge jackets or waistcoats over their collared shirts.
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.
