Getting Here & Maps

A complimentary bus service is provided by Wheelers Travel on each race day from Salisbury Railway Station. Timings are as follows;

The courtesy bus will leave Salisbury Railway station at the same time gates open on that particular fixture, it will return for a second run an hour later. A returning bus will leave the racecourse twenty minutes after the start of the last race.

For example if gates open at midday, the bus to the course will leave at midday and again at 1pm. The bus then returns to Salisbury Station 20 minutes following the start of the last race. When there is music after racing, a further bus will be provided for approximately 10.45pm. Please note that this bus goes into Salisbury City Centre and is exceptionally busy.

There is dedicated taxi rank for taxi drop off and collection on racedays which is located between the Annual Subscribers Car Park and the Coach Park.

Taxis are often in high demand on racedays particularly immediately after a race meeting has finished, and it is advisable to book. Salisbury and the surrounding towns have several reputable taxi firms.
