We have 3 large bar areas that can hold large parties and our Restaurant will seat 126 guests.
Do you provide free parking?
Yes! There is FREE parking for cars, mini buses & coaches in front of the stadium in our grounds
Are children catered for?
Yes, you can take a look at our children’s menu on our Trackside Restaurant page to see what your child would like upon your next visit. However children need to be out the stadium by the last race.
Do you have disabled facilities?
We have a disabled lift situated at the entrance to the stadium. Please ask at the turnstiles and one of our security staff will be only too happy to assist.
What is Tote betting?
The minimum stake for this bet is £1. One selects a dog from the field. This can be on any dog at any race meeting. The betting slip can be denoted with the dog’s race card number, or the dogs name (and if at another course, the name of the course), or it can be marked as the ‘favourite’, where the dog is not nominated but the bet is placed on whichever dog is favourite (has the largest amount of money put into the pool) at the start of the race. This will, obviously, have the lowest payout (since the pool will be shared with the largest number of winners) but the assumption is that if others have bet on it, it must have a good chance of winning.
What are your minimum / maximum bet limits?
On most of our betting, the minimum bet is £1 per race. On others, it is a minimum bet of 50p.
Can I drink outside?
Yes, but only from plastic containers…please inform the bar staff of your intentions to go outside and they’ll happily provide you with these. NO GLASS in any form is allowed outside of the building.
Is smoking allowed?
There is a strict NO SMOKING policy that operates throughout the interior of our stadium. However, smoking IS ALLOWED on the extensive terracing area which is situated immediately at the trackside
What time is the last race?
Check our racing page for more information on times and days for racing
Can I get a taxi from outside?
Please note there are NO taxi ranks at the Stadium, but we have a FREE telephone line to Newcastle Taxis in our foyer area, next to reception. We do recommend that you pre-arrange your transport home, prior to visiting us as local firms do get extremely busy at weekends.
