Leicester Racecourse is easily accessible from the Midlands Motorway Network. As you come off at Junction 21 of the M1/M69 head eastbound on Soar Valley Way (A563) towards Oadby and Wigston. Follow Soar Valley Way until you reach the A6 and at that point, the racecourse will be on your right-hand side.

There is parking available at the racecourse.

The most direct bus to the racecourse is the Arriva Sapphire 31 and 31A. If you are coming from Leicester City Centre, the stop you need to get off at is the Oadby Glebe Road bus stop which is across the road from the racecourse. If you are coming from Oadby, you need the Oadby Meadowcourt Road bus stop which is a 644 m (8 min) walk from the course.

Leicester Racecourse is only 2 miles from Leicester Train Station. When you exit the train station, head southbound on the A6 (London Road) towards Oadby. You can either walk the 2 miles (3.2 km (39 min) walk), get in a taxi from the taxi rank located inside the train station, or catch a bus.
