Venue Accessibility

Accessibility At Southwell Races

We do all we can at Southwell Racecourse to ensure our venue is accessible for all. We want everyone to have the best day or evening out with us come rain or shine so we have put accessibility at the heart of what we do so there is fun for everyone.

There are a number of measures we have put in place already which you can see. More detail of below. We also offer car parking spaces for individuals with accessible needs in car parks A and B.

Registered Guide dogs, Hearing dogs and medical alert dogs are welcome on site. However, please ensure they are always kept on a lead. Water will be available for any assistance dog from any catering outlet around the racecourse.

We have a big screen which is visible from most areas on the front of the Grandstand. All viewing areas are on hard standing, with the pre-parade ring and parade ring offering ample viewing.

Free Entry for Personal Assistants 

Personal Assistants will receive free admission to the racecourse when accompanying a paying guest with accessible needs. Personal assistants are also welcome to use the dedicated viewing platforms, one overlooking the track and the other by the Winners Enclosure. There is seating available on each.

Personal Assistant tickets can be claimed by bringing in proof of accessible needs on the day of racing e.g. a Blue Badge (with accompanying photo ID), Disability Living Allowance, Personal Independence Payment or signed letter from GP (with accompanying photo ID).

The guest with accessibility needs will need to buy a full price ticket first either online or on the day and then speak to a member of staff on the turnstiles about claiming the free personal assistant badge.
