Chepstow Racecourse opened its gates in the early 1920’s and has since blossomed into a bustling track that is home to the Welsh Grand National. From just a pretty park, this venue is now home to racing fixtures and music events throughout the year, as well as being available to hire for weddings, conferences and events.
Raceday ExperienceWe welcome thousands of racegoers across the year and aim to provide a fun, exciting and safe day for everyone.
A historic part of the races is the betting that comes with it. So if you wish to take part in this time honoured tradition, you can do so at different facilities over Chepstow Racecourse. If you’re trackside you will see bookies in the area in front of the grandstand. There are also several betting points within the stands and a table side betting service in hospitality.
Chepstow Racecourse has different levels of dress code depending on your ticket type and enclosure. With some places adopting a more relaxed dress code where fancy dress is allowed, and other places following a strict smart-casual approach.
