About Newbury Racecourse

With over a century of history and a backdrop of sweeping Berkshire countryside, Newbury Racecourse is far more than just a destination for horse racing. This iconic venue offers a unique and flexible setting for a huge range of events, from high-profile conferences and exhibitions to private celebrations, weddings and Christmas parties - each backed by a team of experienced event planners and first-class hospitality.

When it comes to business events, Newbury is hard to beat. The Racecourse offers everything from small boardroom meetings in its Royal Box to large-scale conferences in the Grandstand suite, which holds up to 1,000 delegates. The 26 syndicate rooms, stylish Owners’ Club and pillar-free exhibition spaces offer plenty of flexibility for breakout sessions, networking, or gala dinners. On-site accommodation, ample parking and even its own railway station make access a breeze, while the catering team are on hand to deliver everything from working lunches to fully bespoke banquets.

But it’s not all business. Newbury Racecourse also plays host to a wide array of private events and celebrations. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, an anniversary dinner or a wedding reception with a difference, the range of event spaces - many with panoramic views of the course - make for a truly memorable setting. From intimate lounges to dramatic, triple-aspect dining rooms and even expansive outdoor spaces for festivals and car shows, the possibilities are vast.

At Christmas, the Racecourse transforms into a festive wonderland, offering packages for both large-scale corporate bashes and smaller, more exclusive parties. With stylish theming, dedicated planners, and outstanding seasonal menus, the only thing you’ll need to worry about is your Secret Santa. Whether you’re after a sleek setting for a product launch, a romantic venue for your big day, or a unique site for your next major event, Newbury Racecourse combines scale, versatility and a rich sense of history. Add in first-rate facilities, expert support, and some of the best views in Berkshire, and you’ve got a venue that’s always ahead of the field.
