Welcome to The Enclosure in association with The Grand Tour – your party HQ on the Barrett Lawn. With epic views of the track, you’ll be snapping “wish you were here” shots as the horses thunder by in the background.

Kick things off with a drink on arrival, fuel up with tasty eats from the pop-up food truck, and soak up the buzz of the day’s incredible black-type racing alongside your crew.

But that’s not all – the heart of The Grand Tour lives here, with DJs dropping beats from a custom bar and stage. AND after the last race you’re welcome to head to the Birdcage Bash for the official on-site after party ft. UK DJ Jax Jones (entry conditions apply; see event page for more).

Good vibes, great company, and non-stop action – the party starts here.
