Our dress code is generally relaxed, but we do recommend taking the season into account. Our racing season runs from April through to October, so dressing for the weather is always a good idea. It’s also worth noting that race meetings at Worcester Racecourse are predominantly outdoor events.
Many of our racegoers like to dress up for the occasion to add to the vibrant atmosphere. For example, we recommend smart jeans or tailored shorts paired with a collared shirt for gentlemen. Please note that sporting team shirts and offensive fancy dress are not permitted.
While we want everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy their visit, different enclosures and events have specific dress code expectations, which you can find out more about below.
On special days like Ladies Day, we encourage guests to embrace the spirit of the occasion and wear elegant, stylish attire as we host Best Dressed competitions via our Style Awards, where visitors win prizes for their fashion efforts!
You can find out more details on the Style Awards via our Ladies Day page.
When visiting our private boxes and Severn restaurant, guests are encouraged to adopt a smart, casual style for the day. Many racegoers also opt for occasion wear on feature race days.
Racegoers often choose to adopt a smarter style. We recommend, for example, smart jeans or tailored shorts and a collared shirt for gentlemen.

Novelty fancy dress clothing is allowed to be worn within the racecourse, however, if deemed inappropriate or offensive in any way, Worcester Racecourse staff reserve the right to prevent the wearer from entering the grounds.
