Ladies Day FAQ’s 

With Ladies Day just around the corner, we want to ensure you have all the information you need to have the best day possible! Therefore, we have put together a list of some of the questions we are asked most frequently and have answered them all in one place.

What time should I arrive?

Gates open at 11:00AM, we recommend arriving as early as possible before the first race at 2:20pm to soak up the atmosphere, grab a drink and get ready for a great day out! 

What time is Vernon Kay performing?

Vernon Kay will play a 90-minute set from approximately 20 minutes after the last race which is at 5:55pm.

Can Children come racing?

Children under 18 can enter free of charge, tickets are supplied on the day.

How do I get to the racecourse?

You can find full details of how to get to the racecourse by car, air, train and bus on our Get Here page. Alternatively, you can find the full address on our Contact Us page.

Please note on Ladies Day, there will be a one-way system in place, please follow the yellow signage and enter via Southwell with entry via Racecourse Road. From 4pm this route will switch, so all traffic enters via the Occupation Lane off Fiskerton Train Station only.

How do I enter the Style Awards?

For those who'd like to enter this year's Style Competition, make sure you head to the flower wall when you arrive to have your picture taken. The finalists will be contacted and invited into the winner’s enclosure, for the final judging to take place and the overall 2024 Style Award Competition winner to be announced.

The competition opens at 11am and closes at 2:50pm

What should I do before I arrive at the racecourse?

Make sure (if you have an E-ticket) that you have screenshotted or saved the ticket to your camera roll prior to arriving at the racecourse. To ensure you get in as quickly as possible, make sure the brightness on your mobile device is set to ‘full’ to ensure your ticket can be easily scanned.

What do I wear to Ladies Day?

Dress to impress! This is the one day of the season where the fashion is as important as the racing! Stylish outfits and beautiful headwear will be in abundance.
