We look forward to welcoming you to Wincanton Racecourse for our Boxing Day Raceday.
This is an extremely popular raceday and therefore we advise early arrival, gates open at 10am.
If you choose to arrive closer to the first race it is likely you will experience queuing during your journey to the racecourse and on entry to the carparks.
We would appreciate it if you could car share where possible to help us deliver car parking for all customers and to ease congestion en route to the racecourse. We advise early arrival at the site gates Please note that ALL parking at Wincanton is on grass.

At Wincanton Racecourse we believe racing should be enjoyed by anyone and everyone. And one thing is certainly true, the more relaxed and comfortable we feel, the more likely we are to have a great time. So that’s why we’ve created one very simple piece of guidance, to come “dressed to feel your best”.
Our mission is to act for the long-term good of British horseracing but we also have a responsibility to our customers and beyond and are determined to have a positive impact on the world around us. In 2012 we launched the Going Green programme to engage our colleagues and get their help with improving the environmental impact of our business.
