The Roodee

The Roodee is more of a relaxed environment, but don’t let that stop you from donning your best outfit for a grand day out at the races. Dress it up or dress it down – it’s up to you.

All that we ask is that you don’t wear offensive clothing or offensive fancy dress as these are not allowed. On the rare occasion, you might need to bring your wellies and brollies – but not if we keep doing our rain dances!
