The Members' Enclosure boasts a grandstand with the best views on the showground, as well as our Members' Restaurant, Members' Lawn and the Champagne Bar and Terrace. Daily Members' Enclosure tickets are available, and upgrades may be purchased at the Members’ Enclosure entrance on the day of your visit, subject to availability.
