Ahead of your visit to Carlisle Racecourse we wanted to inform you of a traffic diversion that will be in place from Monday 9th June. Newbiggin Road, the main route used by those travelling from the M6, will be closed for approximately 5 months whilst the construction of the Carlisle Southern Link Road nears completion. As a result of this, the below diversion route has been put in place by Cumberland Council. For More Information please click here.
As always, we recommend checking your journey before you travel to avoid any delays and to ensure a smooth arrival at the racecourse.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding during this time.
We look forward to welcoming you for what promises to be a fantastic day of racing!
