Perth Racecourse Terms and Conditions

We know you’ll be delighted with your booking, however there are some Terms and Conditions to which we'd like to draw your attention. The full list of Terms and Conditions are on the links at the bottom of this page. However, there are a few key points below, 1 to 9.

Acceptance of these terms and conditions will result in a legally binding contract between you (Racegoer) and us (Operator) which include the terms of the licence which we have granted to you to enter the Racecourse. It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with these Terms and Conditions.

Entry – Entry to the racecourse is subject to the right of the Operator (Perth Racecourse) to refuse to admit and/or to expel, without prior notice, any person whose behaviour is considered to be unruly or unacceptable or is a disqualified person.
Food & Drink – We advise racegoers that taking all liquids and food into the Grandstand Enclosure is not permitted, and that permission for this is at the discretion of the Operator.

Food and liquids, with the exception of any alcohol, is allowed in the Picnic Enclosure. Please note, you may be subject to a random search by security personnel.
Alcohol – Racegoers are reminded not to attempt to bring their own alcohol into the grounds of Perth Racecourse. If any unauthorised alcohol is found, they will be required to return it to their vehicle, or our stewards will dispose of it. We are unable to retain any alcohol on behalf of Racegoers for later collection.
Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 – The Operator informs patrons that it is prohibited for anyone to consume alcohol out with any of our licensed areas. Racegoers must at all times abide by any rules and conditions in operation, including the observance of no drinking areas for safety reasons.
Dogs – Dogs are permitted within the Grandstand and Picnic Enclosures; however, they must be always kept on a lead and any fouling must be picked up immediately.

There is a Dog Friendly Car Park available. On arrival, please advise our stewards that you have dog/s and they will be able to guide you to park appropriately. However, we do not recommend dog/s are left unattended for any length of time in this facility. To the extent where we are legally able to do so, we reserve the right, if necessary, to force entry into a car to release any animals which may be suffering.

Please note, only Guide Dogs are permitted to be in any indoor facilities.

Seating – Plenty of seating of various types, indoors and outdoors is available for Racegoers and therefore, you are discouraged from bringing in your own seating within the Grandstand Enclosure. Within the Picnic Enclosure, you are encouraged to bring your own, and the stewards will direct you on where is best to set up.

Please be aware of seating, viewing platforms or accessibile areas that are specifically for those that require it.
Prohibited Items – Racegoers are advised that it is prohibited to bring any glass bottles or glasses into any part of the Racecourse. Stewards will advise of any other items deemed unsuitable to bring into the racecourse enclosures, which should be returned to vehicles or confiscated. This is to ensure compliance with the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds Act and the HSE Event Safety Guide.
Cigarettes, E-Cigarettes and all Vaporiser products – The current smoking legislation regarding smoking and vaping in public places applies at the racecourse. The use of e-cigarettes and vapes are permitted; however, they will be treated the same as tobacco products and therefore, strictly, forbidden indoors. Please dispose of your cigarettes ends carefully and in the appropriate bins as provided. Please ensure the end is distinguished fully before putting disposing of it. There are two vape bins on course, please dispose of your vape/s in these and do not put them in general waste.
Dress Code – There is no formal dress code with the Enclosures, however football colours and attire are discouraged at all times. Please ensure you dress appropriately for the weather forecast as we are classed as an outdoor event.

Corporate hospitality dress code is smart, casual. No ripped jeans or trainers please.
