Facilities at Newmarket Racecourse

Owners and Trainers Bar

Our exclusive Owners and Trainers bar is conveniently located on the first floor of the Millennium Grandstand and is fully accessible.

Enjoy a complimentary tea or coffee whilst watching the racing on screen or, take the opportunity to witness the action from the reserved viewing area overlooking the winning post just outside the bar. The bar also provides easy access to the betting ring and parade ring.

Owners and Trainers Dining

The Runners Bistro serves a complementary two-course lunch for owners with a runner on the day.

The restaurant is ideally positioned in the Courtyard and fully accessible for wheelchair users or those with reduced mobility. 

(Complimentary lunch allocation dependant on ownership however additional lunches above allocation can be purchased in the restaurant for £25pp.)

Tables are allocated upon arrival and cannot be held for the day so we kindly ask if they can be vacated once you have dined.

Lunch is served from gates opening until 4:00pm.

(Please be aware that during busy times there may be a short wait to be seated.)

Lunch vouchers can be reserved via PASS but if you would like to discuss any allergies or to enquire about specific dietary requirements please email: runners.lounge@thejockeyclub.co.uk

At Newmarket we ensure that our teams are trained to offer extra support or assistance to guests who may need it during their raceday and both our courses are proud champions of the Sunflower Lanyard Scheme

Please do contact Anna Metekohy (anna.metekohy@thejockeyclub.co.uk) if you require any assistance or have any questions ahead of your day.

Our dedicated Owners and Trainers facilities are conveniently located on course to ensure you miss none of the action.

Nestled under a dreamy tree canopy the pre-parade ring is ideally positioned to ensure a calm and peaceful environment before the action starts on the track.

Our charming Owners and Trainers Bar can be found at the end of the pre-parade ring, with its secluded patio providing a stunning view and an ideal spot to enjoy a complementary tea or coffee.

Connections with runners on the day have access to the Runners Lounge Pavilion which overlooks the beautiful parade ring. A two-course seasonal buffet lunch will be served here on race days as well as complementary tea, coffee, and soft drinks.

Your parking label will be attached to the email at declaration stage or can be downloaded here. We ask that you do not print more than two copies of this label as there is limited space available in the Owners and Trainers car park.

We are pleased to confirm that the new parking layout we had in place during the summer 2023 will continue for the 2024 season. Parking in the Blue Car Park will permit a right turn when exiting the car park. This parking is for annual badge holders and Jockey Club officials only and the map will help you to see where this parking is situated.

Regrettably no children under the age of 12 are permitted in the parade ring or winners enclosure. Children between the ages of 12 and 16 may do so but must be accompanied by an adult and must have the permission of Andrew Morris, Clerk of the Course. This is a Health & Safety requirement and is covered by the Rules of Racing.
