The July Course Enclosures
Newmarket operates a three enclosure system on most days at the July Course. This enables racegoers to purchase entrance tickets of their choice from the following options:
Premier Enclosure
This enclosure is open to Annual Badge Holders and any racegoer purchasing a Premier Enclosure badge for the day. Premier Enclosure admission entitles you to enjoy the best facilities and the best views of the Winning Post and also provides access to the other enclosures (Grandstand & Paddock Enclosure and Garden Enclosure) on the course.
Smart dress is required in the Premier Enclosure. Racegoers who do not comply with the dress code will be refused admission into the Premier Enclosure.

Grandstand & Paddock Enclosure
This enclosure provides good grandstand race viewing with access to view the Parade Ring, Pre-Parade Ring and Winners’ Circle and to the Garden Enclosure. The bookmakers are located in this and the Garden Enclosure. A more relaxed dress code operates in the Grandstand & Paddock Enclosure with smart jeans and tailored shorts permitted.
Garden Enclosure
Located furthest from the winning post, visitors to this enclosure do not have a view of the Parade Ring or Winners’ Circle. The Garden Enclosure offers race viewing from temporary stands and catering outlets operate mainly from mobile units. There are bookmakers located here as well as Tote betting outlets. There is an excellent children’s play area and picnics may be brought into this enclosure.
Transfers between Enclosures
Racegoers may transfer to a higher priced enclosure on the day, subject to availability, by paying the appropriate price at the Transfer Office in the Grandstand & Paddock Enclosure or at the Transfer Gate in the Garden Enclosure.
Please note: The stage is located within the Premier Enclosure. During racing normal enclosure rules apply in regards to access, dress code and no drinks in front of the Premier Enclosure stands. Once racing has finished, all enclosures open up and racegoers from Grandstand & Paddock and Garden Enclosure will then be able to access the Premier Enclosure and therefore will be able to access the area in front of the stage and the restaurant and bars that are open during the concert.
