STEEPLECHASING has taken place at Stratford Racecourse since 1755. Nowadays, we have 18 meetings a year, most of which take place within the summer months. Equipped with a new glass-fronted Grandstand (opened in 1997) and having won a major award for the care of the racetrack, we are proud to be in the top flight of Britain's smaller courses.


Dress Code for Stratford Racecourse:
A day at the races is an occasion where smart dress is very much encouraged.
In the Club Enclosure jackets and ties are not obligatory, but racegoers wearing scruffy/ripped denim, beachwear, unduly casual, trainers or extreme attire will not gain entry.

Racegoers in the Tattersalls Enclosure usually dress respectably. Smart shorts and jeans are acceptable but no bare tops or singlets please.

Dress in the Centre Course/Picnic area is, as you wish.
It is important to dress for the weather and to be aware that some areas of the course involve walking on grass where shoes with a sturdy or flat heel are a practical choice.

Dressing up is encouraged for racemeetings such as the Pertemps Cup Meeting and Ladies Day.

To save embarrassment, please ensure that all members of your party are aware of the dress code requirements at Stratford Racecourse.
