Premier Racing Lounge

The pre bookable Premier Racing Lounge combines a great location with the benefits of modern technology, delivered with a touch of luxury

Accommodating around 130 customers who select a specific seat at the time of booking. In addition to a seat, racegoers will have access to a bar, Tote betting facilities and private toilets.

The Premier Racing Lounge is not a restaurant or hospitality area, with no kitchen available. You can pre-order luxury sandwiches or basic bar snacks are available on the day (subject to availability).

On the ground floor of the Melrose Stand at the heart of the racecourse, adjacent to the Parade Ring.

Only those customers with a Premier Racing Lounge badge.

Guests are not permitted and holders of annual, trainer or other metal badges are not permitted entry without a Premier Racing Lounge badge.

A specific allocated seat in this new facility, access to private bar, toilets, betting facilities and external area that looks towards the winning post.

Premier Racing Lounge badgeholders may also access all other public County Stand facilities including the champagne lawns and the Ebor Stand.

Located with easy access to a range of existing places that serve food, the decision was taken to devote the maximum space in the new Lounge to racegoer use, so it does not include a kitchen.The Premier Racing Lounge is therefore not a restaurant or hospitality area. There is the option to enjoy a range of pre-ordered Club Sandwiches as well as treats from behind the bar. The Gimcrack Restaurant or Princess Mary Seafood Bar, as well as the John Carr Griddle are all easily reached for guests looking for something a little more substantial, safe in the knowledge that their seat is reserved in the Lounge.

You will always have the reserved seat selected at the time of booking for the day.

Where the booking does not cover all seats at a table, the remaining seats may be purchased by other customers.

Customers are not permitted to reconfigure tables or chairs, there is no options to change the booked seats or tables on the raceday.

The Premier Racing Lounge is not intended to accommodate large groups and so no more than 4 people will be allowed per booking.

The Lounge is on the ground floor so no lift access is required. There is a disabled toilet. Some tables may offer better access for wheelchairs than others, so please advise us if a guest wishes to use a wheelchair rather than the seat provided. The at table service should be a benefit in this regard.

At the heart of the Lounge there is a full bar, as well as betting facilities, so it is not an area that is best suited to children. Given this and the lack of space for pushchairs and such, this facility cannot be booked for under 18s. Outside of the Lounge, there is the Parent and Toddler Room, as well as lots of open space and the serving of children's meals in areas such as Eat Between Our Races.
