Bank Holiday Weekend Family Race Day 3 May 2026

Parking is free at Salisbury Racecourse. There are several car parks so please follow the directions of the car parking stewards on racedays. Please note, vehicles are left at the owner's risk. Any motor vehicles parked, operated, or driven on Salisbury Racecourse facilities should be done so solely at the risk of the owner and the operator. Salisbury Racecourse will not be liable for damage to any such motor vehicle, or vehicle contents.

There are 10 favourably located accessible car parking spaces (on grass) in Car Park 2. However, if using another car park please advise the car parking attendants if you require an accessible space and they will aim to park you as conveniently as possible.

There is dedicated taxi rank for taxi drop-off and collection on racedays which is located between the Annual Subscribers Car Park and the Coach Park.

Taxis are often in high demand on racedays particularly immediately after a race meeting has finished, and it is advisable to book. Salisbury and the surrounding towns have several reputable taxi firms.

There is a bus connecting the racecourse to Salisbury Train Station.

Coach parking is located adjacent to the pull-up area about 200m after the winning line. Coach parking is free, but coach drivers will be asked to fill in a simple Coach Security Pass on arrival. Picnics are permitted but barbecues or more formal catering is not, without prior consent of the racecourse management. For health and safety reasons no glassware may be used for drinks consumption, in the coach park.
