What you wear to Doncaster Races really depends on the fixture, the weather, and if you’re booked into one of our hospitality suites or restaurants.
We generally recommend something smart-casual, but we do discourage racegoers from wearing any sportswear or ripped jeans.
As a year-round racecourse and with race meetings being predominantly outdoor events, we recommend you dress appropriately for the weather, whether that’s bringing a hat during our summer season or wrapping up well in winter.
As the home to the prestigious Betfred St Leger Festival - one of the most iconic race weeks of the British horse racing calendar - alongside other feature race events throughout the year, there are lots of opportunities to get dressed up and enjoy some race day glamour.
There is no dress code for children, unless they are attending our Premier Enclosure or Home Straight Restaurant.
For those who wish to come in fancy dress, we do allow this in our Grandstand Enclosure, but if you wish to book tickets in the County Enclosure, please contact the racecourse in advance of booking.
Click on the enclosures below for a more detailed guide to their dress codes.
Our team will be able to give you some wardrobe pointers if you're not sure what's allowed.
Contact UsThe dress code for the Premier Enclosure and the Home Straight Restaurant is jacket for gentlemen with tie optional and smart attire for ladies. Jeans and sportswear are not permitted in these areas.
We would also request that children dress smartly when joining us in the Premier Enclosure and Home Straight Restaurant.
Racegoers often choose to adopt a smarter style. We recommend, for example, smart jeans or tailored shorts and a collared shirt for gentlemen. Many customers opt to dress for the occasion on feature race days. Our only stipulation is that sportswear and offensive fancy dress are not permitted.
Our dress code here is relaxed. Again, our only stipulation is sporting team shirts and offensive fancy dress are not permitted.
