Terms & Conditions
All persons visiting the property of Newton Abbot Racecourse (the racecourse) are admitted subject to these Regulations and to the Rules of racing. The Racecourse reserves the right to refuse admission or expel without prior notice, any racegoer who, in the reasonable opinion of the Racecourse, behaves or is likely to behave in an unruly manner or in a manner likely to give offence to other racegoers.
No refunds will be given for badges or tickets that are purchased and not required or used other than if racing is abandoned.
Newton Abbot Racecourse may abandon racing:
Where so directed by the police or emergency services or their respective servants or agents; or in any emergency or other exceptional circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Newton Abbot Races.
In the event of racing being abandoned, refunds on badges will only be paid in the following circumstances:
Abandonment before the start of the second race – you will be able to gain free admission to any one of the next two fixtures on production of your raceday badge.
Should the meeting be abandoned after the start of the second race there will be no refund. In either case there will be no cash refund.
The racecourse reserves the right to authorise the search of racegoers and/or their bags.
Alcohol is not allowed to be brought into the racecourse.
Flags/Banners and other articles and any behaviour such as drunkenness, abusive conduct, singing or shouting which may constitute an annoyance to spectators or distract or frighten the horses are prohibited.
No dogs are allowed into the racecourse, with the exception of assistance dogs. The RSPCA advises that animals are never left inside cars. If an animal is left in a car and is panting for breath it may be starting to suffer from heatstroke, which can kill an animal very quickly. Please help us get the message across. It will save more animals from suffering and avoid the need to prosecute owners.
