Kempton Park

Venue Review of Kempton Park

Kempton Park Racecourse combines a scenic 400-acre location with a formidable portfolio of event spaces. The venue’s 19 straight-talking modern function rooms range in capacity from 15 theatre style in one of the trackside boxes to 700 standing visitors in the Exhibition Hall. The Royal Box is one of five spaces licensed for civil ceremonies. Rates across the board are reasonably priced, stacking up well against venues in central London. An increasingly popular format is to mix meetings with race hospitality (there are over 90 fixtures throughout the year), tiered options run from a conference with race admission up to packages that include a 200-capacity private suite. Groups wanting to get active will find ample space in Kempton’s parkland to build teambuilding exercises into a day’s programme. A free car park with 1,000+ spaces is available, and Kempton Park is 40 minutes away by direct train from London Waterloo.
