Blue Badge Parking

Travelling to the event

Blue Badge Holder Parking

There will be a designated Blue Badge holder car park at Blackburn Road Car Park, Seafield Road, Ayr, KA7 2XW.

There will be 400 free parking spaces and there is no need to book in advance. This will be a secure car park and officers on duty will ask to see your Blue Badge on arrival.

Please note that Blue Badge parking bays are provided for the purpose of parking vehicles only. They are not intended to be used as waiting, dwelling, or sitting areas.

For the safety and comfort of all visitors, fires, barbecues, awnings, tables, chairs and other camping equipment are strictly prohibited in all car parks. Please keep your allocated parking space clear and follow all instructions from event staff.

To ensure the car park remains safe and accessible any person found congregating in the area will be asked to leave by our security team. We appreciate your cooperation and consideration for other Blue Badge users.

Accessible parking - with no Blue Badge

We recognise that not everyone with accessibility requirements holds a Blue Badge. To help make travel to and from the event as accessible as possible, our paid parking facilities at Ayr Racecourse offer a shuttle bus service operated by Stagecoach. Their fleet of low-floor, easy-access buses can accommodate a limited number of wheelchairs, approved mobility scooters and unfolded buggies.

For more information, please visit Stagecoach Conditions of Carriage.
