The site is approx. 155 acres some of which are grassed areas and fields. Although we endeavour to maintain good conditions underfoot, please be aware that there may be uneven ground and the campsites/general parking areas are grassland at most events. There are some permanent roadways within the site and large areas of hard standing/tarmac where it is possible to visit the race paddock, catering and trade areas. There are also some stone pathways which can be difficult to negotiate. The weather can have a considerable impact on how easy it is for people to move around the site so please take this into consideration when deciding on what equipment to bring with you. Please note that the layouts of events may vary.
Whilst there are picnic benches dotted around the site plus other seated areas, it is a large venue which may involve a modest walk to visit the many and varied attractions. For those visitors who find walking distances a bit more challenging, you may wish to bring your own fold up chairs or alternatives just in case. Stewards will be on hand to help as well as the medical team if you need any assistance.
A dedicated disabled toilet is located in each of the main toilet blocks (except for the furthest block in the race paddock). Please note that depending on the size and layout of the event, not all toilet blocks will be open.
