What are the parking arrangements?

We have full use of the Ayr Racecourse parking facilities and, if this becomes full, we have the use of extensive parking in Craigie Road just opposite the Western House Hotel. Please however, do not park in the Tesco car park next door as this has a 3-hour limit.



Will I have to pay for car parking?

No, parking will be free on both days of the show.



What disabled parking space is available?

There will be a signposted section to disabled/permit parking area immediately opposite the entrance to the racecourse show area at Gate C.



Can I just pay at the gate with a credit or debit card?

Unfortunately we will only be able to accept cash at the gate as we do not yet have electronic point of sale card machines. However, there are several cash machines at Tesco just 100 yards away.



Where is the nearest cash machine?

There is a cash machine at the entrance to Tesco which sits alongside the racecourse as well as one inside the Ayrshire Suite.



What sort of food will be on offer?

A full range of food and refreshment will be supplied by the Ayr Racecourse in-house catering team in the Club Lounge located inside the Ayrshire Suite. This means that there will be no temporary outside catering.



How much is entry to the Show?

Tickets are £5 per person with those under 16 free if accompanied by an adult.



Is there a concessions price?

Unfortunately there is no concessions price, however if a carer is accompanying someone with a disability admission is on a signle basis.



Can I bring a dog?

Unfortunately there is a strict no dog rule in the Racecourse other that assisted dogs.



Is there disabled access?

As the Racecourse is mostly flat ground there is good access for those in wheelchairs or those needing any help.



What should I do if there is an emergency?

In the event of an Emergency you will be directed by broadcasts, security staff and stewards of what to do.



What if I need information on site?

Where should I go if my child is lost?
