All horse racing fixtures in Great Britain will continue behind closed doors under review with stringent safety measures in place until further notice. Unfortunately owners will not be permitted to attend meetings for which they have a runner at. Visit the news section for the latest information.
We try to answer all we can to make sure your visit is enjoyable.
Please note, you cannot bring food and drink into the racecourse. There are various outlets around the racecourse catering to different tastes where you are able to get food and drink.
With the exception of Guide Dogs of the Blind, dogs are not permitted to enter the racecourse. In the interests of animal welfare, no dogs are permitted to be left in cars and Wolverhampton Racecourse politely request that all dogs are left at home.
Grandstand Enclosure
This is our general entry admission and offers access to our ground floor only, offering various bars and eating outlets. Wolverhampton Racecourse is a really special experience in that you are close to all the action, horses and jockeys. Grandstand & Premier enclosures offer Grandstand viewing of the live action supported with a big screen.
Premier Enclosure
This is an exclusive private lounge situated on the first floor of the main building overlooking the track and Winner’s Enclosure. Comfortable seating, full bar and menu available in this enclosure. Grandstand & Premier enclosures offer Grandstand viewing of the live action supported with a big screen.
Betting Facilities
All enclosures have TOTE and William Hill betting facilities. The Boards and rails bookmakers can be found outside in front of the track. If the weather is inclement, the Boards bookmakers may be found inside the concourse.
If you're looking for a winner in the paddock then a few things to watch out for might include:
Well-toned muscle and just a hint of rib showing is a sign that the horse is in peak physical condition; as with most human runners, sprinters tends to carry a little more muscle (and have quite big backsides!) compared to a horse that runs over longer distances, so bear that in mind.
Advance booking is recommended for all fixtures and saves you money. It is cheaper to book in advance, online than purchasing at the gate. Tickets may be purchased on the day of the fixture. Pukka Package and Hospitality packages do require advance booking. Online bookings for the event can be made until the day before the race. On the day, gates open 2 hours before the first race.
Our venue is accessible to all guests and we make every effort to ensure our guests with disabilities are accommodated to ensure a memorable and fun experience.
If you are a disabled visitor and require a carer to attend the event with you, it may be possible to claim a discounted or complimentary ticket for the carer. This can differ for each fixture and/or event, so please check with the sales advisor when you make your booking. They may ask questions to ascertain the nature of your disability to ensure you are offered the best possible seating and eligibility for a carer ticket.
Please inform us at the time of booking if you need a wheelchair space or have any special requirements, so that we can ensure this is taken care of before you arrive.
For our outdoor Music Live, general and bonfire events, a designated viewing area is allocated. As with other areas in the venue bookings are subject to availability.
Please note only one carer can accompany a disabled guest into the designated area (discretion will be applied where children are also in attendance).
Accompanied under 18's are admitted FREE of charge to both the Grandstand and Premier Enclosures. For restaurant prices please call us on 01902 390011.
Gates open two hours prior to the first race. Please check the fixture of your choice for the latest times and information.
