At Sedgefield Racecourse, we want every guest to feel at home. That’s why we do our best to ensure easy access to all areas of the course.
We’ve incorporated a number of features, which we hope will make your visit to us more comfortable. These include:
Please note many of our paths and main areas are tarmac, though some areas will require you to cross grassed areas. Please be aware of changing ground conditions in wet weather and notify one of our stewards if you require help.
Please also be aware that the only external covered viewing is located in the Grandstand and Paddock stands and can only be accessed via terraced steps. In the event of rain, there is cover in the bars all of which include a TV screen.
We do advise that you bring waterproof clothing and an umbrella if rain is forecast, particularly those using wheelchairs who may experience a delay in reaching a covered area.
We welcome assistance dogs and have water bowls available at the main office.

Personal Assistant Tickets
We offer personal assistants free admission to the racecourse when accompanying a paying guest with accessibility needs.
Please email info@sedgefield-racecourse.co.uk at least 24 hours in advance with your name and details of the fixture you wish to attend to arrange these tickets.
Personal Assistant tickets can be claimed by bringing in proof of accessible needs on the day of racing e.g. Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Attendance Allowance (AA) or Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP). Personal Assistant Tickets will be available to collect from the entrance on arrival.
One of our team will be happy to help and help with any additional access requests.
Contact UsWe have a designated, reserved area close to the admissions turnstiles for accessible needs parking, though we do recommend early arrival (particularly on feature race days) to secure your parking in this location. If you advise our car park stewards of your accessible needs, they can direct you to the reserved parking. Please be aware that although our car park is on flat land, it can be uneven in places.
