2026 Race Day Closure Information
 
As in previous years, Aspire @ the Park will be closing on selected race days throughout 2026 to support the safe running of events at Pontefract Racecourse. Because the facility sits within the racecourse grounds, access restrictions are put in place during major fixtures, meaning we are unable to operate safely on these dates. We’re sharing this information in advance so you can plan your visits accordingly.
 
Thank you for your understanding as we work around the race day access restrictions.
