Epsom Downs Racecourse

Buses & Coaches

The Investec Derby Festival combines fun, fashion and truly memorable racing. For many it is an annual pilgrimage as the world focuses on this iconic event when the best horses in the world battle it out in front of what feels like the whole of London.

A key part of the Investec Derby Day experience is the sight of the open-topped buses lining the course. There are a number of enclosures that hold all types of buses, coaches, mini buses and cars. All our enclosures have fantastic views of the track, betting facilities, catering outlets and a party atmosphere. 

 Bus & Coach Enclosures details (2012)

The Lonsdale Enclosure

This is the most sought after location opposite the Queen’s Stand and next to the Winning Post. Space in this enclosure is strictly limited, as it has fantastic views of the whole day and a chance to get on the rails. On Investec Derby Day only open topped double-decker buses are admitted, but on Investec Ladies Day we can accommodate single and double decker buses.

The Upper Tattenham Enclosure

Stretching from the Stands to the famous Tattenham Corner, this popular enclosure accommodates both single and double decker buses and coaches. There’s always a great atmosphere, excellent facilities and views of the racing and across the unique magic of the Downs. We only have single decker buses in the front row and single or double deckers in the back row.

The Walton Enclosure

Situated next to the Lonsdale Enclosure, the Walton offers the chance to be close to the racing action, without the expense of bringing an open topped double decker bus. Both single and double decker vehicles can be parked in this enclosure. 

To book your space in either The Lonsdale, the Upper Tattenham Enclosure or The Walton Enclosure, please email epsom.hospitality@thejockeyclub.co.uk, call 01372 460460 or book online here

The Hill

The Hill is the famous area at the centre of the racecourse and is usually the heart of the party as people flock to its unique carnival atmosphere. The fun runs all day with live music, market and funfair continuing on after racing. Buses, coaches, midi & mini buses, stretch limousines and cars can be parked on The Hill and entry tickets will be available online and via our ticketing team soon.
