Celebrate Christmas at Market Rasen Racecourse 12 Dec 2026

The course offers ample free car parking in the public car parks and this does not need to be rebooked. 

You can park in one of the Picnic Car Parks and watch the racing from the comfort of your own car. The Picnic Car Parks are accessible from Willingham Road and Legsby Road at a charge of £5 per car or £10 for minibuses (plus Lawn Enclosure admission per adult occupant). Please note that Willingham Road Picnic Car Park is open on Boxing Day but will then be closed until Easter Monday and will not be open for Jockey Club Live Events. All persons entering a Picnic Car Park will require a valid entrance ticket in addition to a picnic car park ticket. On County Racedays, all vehicles are to park in the main public car parks unless using the Picnic Car Parks. On all other racedays, please follow the relevant signs to be directed to the appropriate car park.

Free preferential parking areas are provided near the entrances for disabled visitors who are holders of the Blue Badge parking label.
