Times
What time do the gates open?
The gates at Ffos Las typically open two hours before the first race, giving you plenty of time to get yourself ready and settled before the action! Please note for featured days and festival fixtures, we may open slightly earlier. You can find the most accurate times via our What’s On page.
What time is the last race and when will you close?
Ffos Las races take place at different times at different fixtures and can also change last minute, so we don’t have set times on last races and closure.
We tend to close shortly after the last race, so make sure to grab one last pint before the last race commences or grab something to eat from one of our fantastic food outlets.

Is there anything I can’t wear to the races?

Most racegoers do opt for more formal dress codes for specific race days including Ladies Day and for some of our premier ticket options, as well as hospitality and restaurant packages.
