Cartmel Racecourse, in association with Stagecoach, operates a bus service from Cark Station. Priority will be given to rail passengers so please keep your ticket as proof of travel. There will be a cost for all users of this service which will be updates on this site shortly:
Please note that there will be no special service to connect with trains at Grange-Over-Sands Station.
We try to ensure that all racegoers at Cartmel are parked according to their needs. We therefore provide "disabled" parking areas in both enclosures close to the finishing straight. These areas are relatively flat and grassy - making wheelchair access easier than most other areas of the racecourse. Because there is limited space in the Paddock Enclosure, we recommend that you call the office in advance of raceday to book a space, quoting your "blue badge" number. The racecourse has relatively few permanent facilities and much of the raceday infrastructure consists of temporary marquees. However, we can provide wheelchair access to a special viewing platform high on the Grandstand via the lift at the back of the Grandstand. All users of this facility must have a dedicated carer with them at all times in case of an emergency evacuation. Parking for disabled racegoers is charged at the same rate as for all other racegoers. Disabled racegoers will be charged the standard ticket price. Carers should contact the racecourse in advance if any special access arrangements are required. Aid dogs are welcome.
Dogs are allowed in both the Paddock & Course Enclosures as long as they are kept on a lead at all times. If dogs are left in cars and are deemed to be distressed a public address announcement will be made, failiure to respond will result in the dog being released.
