Visiting the yards

Wristbands and purchase on the day tickets will be available at most of the opening yards on the morning of the open day.

Pre-paid tickets will be scanned and exchanged for a wristband or York Races ticket, depending on the type of ticket purchased.

If you miss the open morning and head straight to York Races with your pre-paid tickets, a member of the Racing Welfare team will be there to scan your ticket and issue a York Racecourse ticket. Please note that only Racing Welfare can scan your pre-purchased tickets; the team at York will not have your details.

The racing yards will be open throughout the morning in Malton and the outlying area between 08.45 and 12.00 (Tim Easterby 9 am – 12 noon). The full list of yards open can be found here.

The fun doesn’t stop there…

This year, Racing Welfare has again linked up with York Racecourse to allow those attending Malton Open Day the opportunity to purchase reduced-priced tickets to attend the Sky Bet Sunday Series in association with YorkMix Family Entertainment Zone, allowing attendees to see the journey from the training yard to the racecourse. Pre-book your tickets to the combined event now.

Tickets

Tickets are on sale HERE and are priced at £10 for Malton Open Day attendees and £20 for those booking combined tickets. Tickets can be bought on the day at the open stables, cash is preferred but card machine facilities are at the yard of TBC
