Get Here

Described by passionate horse racing fan, Mike Parcej, as “arguably the easiest racecourse anywhere in the UK to get to by train from everywhere”, Doncaster Racecourse is conveniently located for those travelling by rail, road, or air.

Doncaster’s main train station is located just two miles from the racecourse. A shuttle service between the racecourse and Doncaster Interchange, (located next to the train station) operates for most major racedays.

On race days, Car Park A (opposite the Main Stand) is reserved for Annual Members, Owners and Trainers, Jockeys, BHA, Sponsors, Hospitality Guests, Press, and Blue Badge holders. Please show your permit, ticket or ID to gain entry to Car Park A. Car Park C (next to the Family Enclosure) is available to all our guests free of charge. Please follow the yellow road signage to direct you to the correct car park.

By Bus

On most major race days, a shuttle service runs between Doncaster Racecourse and Doncaster Interchange. Please note, this service does not run for our non-racing events such as fireworks. The service commences from Doncaster Interchange at approximately the time our gates open and continues until approximately 30 minutes before our first race. The return journey starts just after the penultimate race and continues until approximately one hour after the last race. If there is entertainment following racing the service will continue until this has finished.

Shuttle bus information is subject to change and may be amended or withdrawn without prior notice. Fares cost from £3 for a single journey and £5 return. Please visit Travel South Yorkshire for more information.
