# How long is the coach trip to from Central London to Epsom Downs Racecourse?
Epsom Racecourse is situated at the top of the Epsom Downs. Normally it would take about 90-120 minutes from central London, however on race day this can vary due to traffic. We depart Embankment at 8:30am sharp in the morning. On the return journey we depart Epsom at 7pm, about 90 minutes after the last race (which is around 5:30pm) is finished, and aim to have you back in London around 9pm depending on traffic. Your PP rep will give you instructions on the day.Close
# What is provided in the buffet lunch at the Epsom Derby?
The buffet luncheon PP Travel provides on all our Epsom Derby Festival tours are extensive. It is a cold buffet and there are plenty of vegetarian options. You will not go hungry, we assure you!Close
# Where is lunch served?
Lunch is served just in front of where the coach is going to be parked in the Walton Enclosure. The area is grassed and we recommend you bring a picnic blanket to sit on. You can bring fold up chairs for lunch if you desire and you can leave your chair under the coach during the day if required. If you are making your own way to the racecourse, it is your responsibility to make your own way to the Walton Enclosure for lunch.Close
# Are drinks included with our Epsom Derby packages?
Racing at Epsom over the Derby Day Festival, as well as hosting the richest race in Britain, is a BIG PARTY EVENT - so it would certainly be amiss not to provide drinks with lunch. You have the choice of quality red or white wine with your meal - and there will be plenty provided as well as bubbly and beer. Free non-alcoholic drinks are also available both on the coach journey and throughout lunch at the track.Close
# Do we need travel insurance for the Epsom Derby?
We encourage all passengers to have adequate travel insurance on our tours as there is always the possibility for injury or loss.
