Highlight on the First Day

The Grand Tour bought us Sir Dave Dobbyn live last year on Al Basti Equiworld Dubai NZ 2000 Guineas Day. We will soon announce the act for 9 November 2024, how good! All you need is a GA ticket to enjoy the performance after the last race. The stage will feature entertainment throughout the day so how good is this on the first day. Note also, a Promenade package ticket is the perfect place to watch the performance.

Enhanced GA Set Up

A Grand Tour bar will again be a feature of the GA offer across the three days. It is located on the footprint of the demolished Grand National so an ideal location close to the Parade Ring. Fashion features on both the 2nd and 3rd days in The Tea House Lawn Fashion precinct. Easy to get to and options for GA ticket holders. Don't forget Zesty Boi and Jezza in the ZM Entertainment Zone. So popular previously, they’re ready to get you moving at the races this year on the final day.
