Please find below our Terms & Conditions of Entry to Cartmel Racecourse for your information.

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ
• These terms and conditions of entry (“Conditions”) apply to all persons entering the racecourse and grounds (Attendee or you), known as Cartmel Racecourse (the Racecourse). These Conditions are issued by Cartmel Steeplechases (Holker) Ltd (the Operator or we). Acceptance of these Conditions will result in a legally binding contract between you and the 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  Conditions.
• These Conditions may also be referred to as Entry Contract.
• These Conditions apply to all persons entering the Racecourse. If you attend the Racecourse in any capacity other than as a private individual, you must also agree to a set of Special Conditions, which will apply in addition to the Conditions. The Special Conditions are available at this link. 
• If you do not understand or have any questions relating to these Conditions or any Special Conditions you should contact the Operator without delay for clarification.
• Every Attendee entering the Racecourse shall be deemed to have accepted all The Rules of Racing and shall do so subject to The Rules of Racing published by the British Horseracing Authority from time to time.
• Entry to the Racecourse shall be at our discretion. We reserve the right to refuse entry to or expel any person from the Racecourse in accordance with these Conditions.

General Conditions:

  • Ticket re-sale: Badges, Privilege Access Swipe System (PASS) Cards, tickets and other entitlements to enter the Racecourse are NON-TRANSFERABLE between dates. They may not be transferred, sold, offered for sale, coupled or bundled with any other product or services or used for any commercial or promotional purpose whatsoever without our consent (which we may withhold in our absolute discretion). For example, a General Admissions ticket cannot be ‘upgraded’ to a Camping Ticket; this is the same across all ticket types. 
  • Once bought, tickets are NON-REFUNDABLE under any circumstance, except for additional terms regarding Concert race days. No REFUNDS shall be given in respect of any unused part of any badge or other entitlement.
  • Payment of tickets: All tickets and memberships must be paid in full at the time of booking including restaurant and hospitality bookings. Your booking is only confirmed when full payment is received.
  •  Lost Tickets: If you lose or misplace your tickets, you will need to purchase new tickets at the gate, on the day. After the fixture, you must return the used and (where possible) un-used tickets by post to the Racecourse office and a refund on the advanced ticket(s) purchase price will be considered, subject to the initial tickets being unused. If a refund is issued, it will incur a £5.00 admin fee.
  • Re-entry: If you exit the racecourse on a race day and you wish to return then you must have your badge or e-ticket scanned on exit to allow re-entry.
  • E-tickets: General Admission Tickets only (Paddock and Course) must be booked online through our website and once payment has been made in full, customers will receive an email with printable e-tickets. These tickets are to be printed at home and should be presented in good condition in order to be scanned upon entry to the Racecourse. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that e-tickets are printed in a readable condition and we cannot guarantee that e-tickets shown on mobile devices will be accepted. All e-ticket bookings will be subject to a £2.50 processing fee per booking.
  • Gift Vouchers: Gift Vouchers with a unique code are valid for a period of 24 months from the date of purchase and cannot be extended after that period. All vouchers are non-refundable, non-transferable and are not for resale. Partially redeemed vouchers cannot be refunded. Gift vouchers cannot be exchanged for cash and can only be used to make an advance booking – they cannot be redeemed on a race day. At the point of purchase you will be required to enter an email address for the voucher to be automatically delivered to. It is the purchasers responsibility to ensure the email address is entered correctly. We cannot be held responsible if the address is entered incorrectly and someone other than the intended recipient uses the voucher. Gift vouchers cannot be used to purchase other gift vouchers. When redeeming the voucher the full balance will be applied to the booking. It is not possible to partially redeem a voucher unless the order total is less than the gift voucher balance. If the order total is more than the gift voucher, the balance may be paid using the usual payment methods. Multiple vouchers may be used on one order. Lost, stolen or damaged vouchers cannot be replaced.
  • Booking Fees for printed tickets: Any bookings containing restaurant, hospitality and camping tickets will automatically be sent printed tickets which are subject to a £2.50 processing and booking fee and will be sent by Royal Mail second class post. Last orders for tickets to be sent by post are 7 days prior to the first race day of the race meeting in question. If you do not receive your tickets within 5 days before the first race day of each race meeting then please contact the office on 015395 36340.
  • Early Bird Offer: All our discounted Early Bird special offer tickets (including concert raceday Early Bird tickets) are offered for a limited time period only – all Early Bird tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable once purchased.
  • Abandonment refunds: Full refunds for general admission tickets will be given if racing is abandoned before the first race. A 50% refund will be given if racing is abandoned before the third or featured race. Please see note above regarding ticket re-sale. No cash refunds will be given on the day, but will be administered by post after the meeting. Please retain your tickets as they will be required for your refund application. Applications for refunds should be sent within one month of the fixture.
  • Concert refunds: For music events (with or without racing included), the following additional terms and conditions apply:
  • If we fail to fulfil an order as a result of any negligence, or similar act or omission of our own or in breach of contract the customer will be entitled to a full refund including any booking fee charged.
  • If the event is cancelled, postponed or material changes are made to the Event, namely a change of the venue or the headline act, the original tickets that you have purchased will remain valid for the revised event (except for in the case of cancellation) unless otherwise advised. However, in these circumstances, only the cost of the tickets without the booking fee will be refunded as these are circumstances beyond our control. If the tickets have not been despatched, the booking fee will also be refunded.
  • Refund payments: Refunds are made strictly using only the same method of payment that was used to purchase the tickets. If purchased by card, refunds must be made back to this same card.
  • Attendees must ensure that if in possession of one, their badges are securely attached to their clothing on racedays and visible at all times. Otherwise badges, PASS Cards, tickets/E-tickets and other entitlements must be available to show to officials at any time upon request.
  • Alcohol should not be purchased or consumed on the Racecourse by anyone under the age of 18.
  • From time to time we will close race track crossings for safety reasons. Attendees are prohibited from attempting to cross any closed crossing or attempting to cross the race track other than at an open crossing. Any breach of this is likely to lead to expulsion from the Racecourse.
  • Gazebos are permitted only in designated areas, and are chargeable by size, per 3 metre by 3 metre footprint. Payment will be collected by officials on the race day. Notably, gazebos are not permitted within 3 metres of the inner fence, on either side of the finishing straight, or within 10 metres either side of a jump. The Racecourse reserves the right to ask for gazebos and windbreaks to be moved and/or removed to ensure the safety of other Attendees and to conform to racing requirements.
  • The Racecourse reserves the right to extinguish barbecues if they affect or potentially affect racing.
  • Vans and Motor Homes are not permitted to park next to the running rails or within 10 metres either side of a jump. The Racecourse reserves the right to ask for Vans and Motor Homes to move should they obstruct visibility of any race which may affect the Health & Safety of our horses and jockeys.
