Following the BHA's announcement on 17th March 2020, all horse racing fixtures will be suspended from 18th March until at least the end of April. Read our News section for more information.
Chepstow Racecourse has different levels of dress code depending on your ticket type and enclosure. With some places adopting a more relaxed dress code where fancy dress is allowed, and other places following a strict smart-casual approach.
Most of our fixtures are one-enclosure events where the dress code is smart casual, but we also hold events where more than one enclosure is in operation and we also offer a range of Hospitality options. You can find out more about our dress code for different ticket types and our behaviour and conduct policy below.
Fancy Dress
Non-offensive fancy dress is allowed at Chepstow Racecourse within the Grandstand & Paddock Enclosure. However, fancy dress is not permitted within the Premier Enclosure or Hospitality at any time.
Behaviour & Conduct Policy
We want every guest who comes through the gates at Chepstow Racecourse to have a fantastic time with us, to help achieve this we have an Alcohol & Behaviour Policy which we expect our customers to adhere to. For the enjoyment of all, we expect all our visitors in both our enclosures to behave in a friendly and socially acceptable manner towards each other.
We operate a smart-casual dress code in our Hospitality areas and most hospitality customers like to dress up for the occasion. Please be aware that:
Strictly smart shoes only (formal dress shoes). No trainers, canvas shoes, sandals or flip-flops. No sportswear or swimwear including football or rugby shirts. No fancy dress (The above dress code does not apply to children under the age of 10.)
Chepstow racecourse operates a strict smart-casual dress code in the Premier Enclosure. Most racegoers in this enclosure like to make it a special occasion and choose to dress accordingly. Please be aware that:
Strictly smart shoes only (formal dress shoes). No trainers, canvas shoes, sandals or flip-flops. No sportswear or swimwear including football or rugby shirts. No fancy dress (The above dress code does not apply to children under the age of 10.)
In the Grandstand & Paddock enclosure, the dress code is more relaxed. For example, tailored shorts and t-shirts can be worn by racegoers during the warmer Summer months, and footwear can be more relaxed, including smart trainers and canvas shoes. Fancy dress is also acceptable within this enclosure, as long as it is not offensive to other guests.
