https://www.racingpost.com/racecards/2025-05-04/

The weather forecast for Sunday is: Dry, moderate breeze, some sunny spells, 15°

The Going at the course is currently GOOD TO FIRM (Watering) with a GoingStick reading of 9.0

Gates will open at midday and the first race will be at 1.30pm. The last at 5pm. If you are using the shuttle bus please be aware that the bus stop has been temporarily moved to Fisherton Street. See the bottom of this page for directions.

There will be plenty to do for the little ones (and not so little ones) all of which is completely free!

Children:  Accompanied children aged under 17 and under get in FREE at all Salisbury race days. All the children’s entertainment will be in The Sarum Enclosure but you can access this enclosure with a Grandstand or Bibury Ticket too.

1584 Restaurant & Conservatory: If you are wanting to dine with us for this meeting, the menu for the day is a Carvery. There will also be a cold table and choice of desserts. If you do book either of our restaurant packages, please notify us of any allergies in your party no later than 3 days prior to the event by e-mailing restaurant@salisburyracecourse.co.uk  

Car Parking:  All car parking at Salisbury Racecourse is FREE and each car park is located just a short distance from the enclosures.

Big screens:  there will be two big screens at this race day. The 25 metre square screen will be located opposite the parade ring and the 100 metre square screen will be facing the enclosures, about half a furlong from the winning post.  The big screens are provided by a contractor.  Salisbury Racecourse is not liable in the event of a picture failure to a screen during a race meeting, or if for any reason a screen fails to make it to the racecourse.

Complimentary Bus Service:  A Wheelers Bus has been booked for midday and 1pm to leave Fisherton Street to come up to the course. The bus will then return after racing at approximately 5.30pm. Please be aware that there are roadworks on some of the main roads in and out of the city so these times are approximate, please do not rely on the bus if you are getting a train at a specific time. There is redevelopment work taking place at Salisbury Station too so for the time being, the stop will be on Fisherton Street. If you turn left out of the station and proceed onto South Western Road (over the mini roundabout). Walk down the hill and turn left and walk under the bridge, the bus stop will be on the left hand side.

Equine safety & welfare: British horse racing’s hub dedicated to the Thoroughbred racehorse is https://horsepwr.co.uk/

The site is designed to open the doors to the sport and talk about the Thoroughbred horse – their purpose, the lives they lead, and the high welfare and safety standards that underpin British racing.   We want to provide facts, educate, and confront the tough questions head on. The facts matter. Why? Because we understand our responsibility for our horses
