Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Enjoyed a great day at the races, watched the Derby from the marquee on Tottenham Corner. Meal could have been better, but the wine flowed and the company was great, also the racing was brilliant and winning a few pounds made the day complete.
Can well recommend it.

Booked tickets for the Queen Elizabeth II stand as a treat. What a fantastic way to see the Derby. Food choices to purchase a bit disappointing, especially for vegetarians.

Lovely place to go for a relaxing walk. Raceways it can get busy. Also remember at certain times you must keep your dog in the lead for safety of the race horses, riders and the dog.
Lovely place to have a hack to too.

Hospitality rip off. I am still angry after 19 years. I should have prosecuted that firm Sedhexo who controlled the racecourse back then. Food disgraceful for functions. Skimped badly . Nothing more than grand names on deep fried, different shapes this and that . Beautiful venue with stunning views. Advice is do it yourself in a hall. Never again would I hold a function at Epsom racecourse as I learned the hard way its the person's celebration not the venue.

Worst day of my life!
Attended through the decades it was over booked way too crowded. Meant to be a family day as children can attend but had pole dancers. That’s only the least of it. The crowd got tear gassed. As I was entering the crowd from coming from the toilet I started choking and my eyes burning, everyone was running out coughing. My younger sister attended and ended up in paramedics throwing up. How can you allow authority to harm so many people and children. Security wouldn’t let anyone In the building to get water despite all choking. My sister was in there and refusing to let me enter till I pushed through myself to get to her. It’s changed to a horrible night out with groups of dangerous people bringing knifes. Security is poor people enter over the fence without having to go through the bag search endangering us all. I will never attend it again and I doubt many will, I never thought I would exteriors such a scary thing.

First visit to this racecourse, impressed with the quality of the stands, padock area and the general layout. Plenty of drink and food outlets with ample staff (prices though could be considered expensive but are on a par with similar venues I have attended recently).
A good evenings racing was had and the music with Martin Kemp, as DJ, completed a throughly enjoyable visit.

I was here last night to attend one of their summer night events. It was great fun actually. I had two glasses of Processo and some nice tasty hot pizza as well. I enjoyed the music as well. I danced late into the night. I even bet on some race horses.

I had a great time overall. Next time I will bring more money in order to buy some nice food other than pizza and drinks too. Amazing night out for sure. Make sure to have enough money to purchase delicious food, drink and experiences that add up overall.

We went there as a family and our daughters had fun. We won at our first race then lost the rest.
