Bath Racecourse Dress Code

The dress code policy in the Premier Enclosure is ‘Smart-Casual’ – this means no jogging bottoms, casual shorts (tailored shorts are acceptable) football/rugby shirts, skimpy tops, or trainers. Smart jeans are acceptable.

On feature Race-days race-goers do enjoy dressing smartly for the occasion and many Ladies wear hats – which although is not obligatory is still great fun. Bath Racecourse is the west country’s jewel and we do recommend it heartily.

Make every day a winner! :)
