Dress Code for Ripon Racecourse:
We ask that badge holders dress respectably - 'smart casual'. Our interpretation of smart casual is no jeans, sportswear, trainers or shorts. On Ladies Day, we hope the ladies will dress, as is traditional for ladies day meetings, in smart attire and hats. The Best Dressed Lady wins a champagne lunch for two at the meeting of her choice.
