Jockey Club Venues

At the Jockey Club we have been hosting world class events since 1750 with The Epsom Derby, The Grand National and The Cheltenham Festival amongst our finest.

From Segway forest adventures and footgolf to tackling rickety bridges on the Skywalk Activity course, there’s something to set everyone’s pulse racing across our portfolio of venues. But it’s not all action. We also have more gentle options to reward the soul like working with the people and horses at the Riding for the Disabled centre based in the glorious grounds of Cheltenham racecourse. Alternatively check out our teambuilding activities for inspiration and create champions of your very own in your business.

CHAMPIONING YOUR BUSINESS

We thrive on creating extraordinary experiences that are a cut above and linger long in the memory.

We are the true champion of British horseracing and everything that makes it special. Our racecourses are where champions are made.

With this heart thumping passion coursing through our veins we can’t help but bring the same passion and enthusiasm for brilliance to our conference and events business.

The following is a flavour of what we offer. Packages can be bespoke and maybe subject to terms and conditions.

To reflect this we are proud to offer a collection of refreshingly different delegate experiences designed to enhance your Jockey Club Venue meeting or event.

An early morning transfer to Aintree Racecourse for a hearty Northern breakfast is followed by a guided bus tour around the Grand National course stopping off a Becher’s Brook, Canal Turn and The Chair where you’ll hear from a jockey how it feels to face those mighty fences! Then it’s off for a tour of the changing rooms and weighing room before marvelling at the display of legends who’ve competed in the iconic Grand National race in days gone by. Finish with a conference in one of the many spaces and suites.

Work hard, play hard. We couldn’t agree more so after a short meeting it’s great to reward your delegates with an afternoon or evening of entertainment at one of our exhilarating racing fixtures.

We can even organise exclusive touches like presenting the best dressed horse in the parade ring or a meet and greet with a winning jockey!

RACECOURSE TOURS

Our racecourses are where legends are made and hearts are won. All of which mean our venues are the inspiring and memorable choice for your conference or event. So it makes complete sense to incorporate a behind the scenes tour of our iconic racecourses into the agenda so delegates get an insight into what it takes to deliver these world class sporting occasions. We can also arrange special experiences like a parade of winners or a motivational talk from a renowned jockey.

GOLF

RAC I NG EXPLA I NED A package designed to demystify the sport, this talk from an industry expert tells you everything you need to know from what to expect on a day at the races to placing a bet and hopefully picking a winner!

Golf is the perfect teambuilding activity designed to cater for all abilities offering everyone an opportunity to learn or improve their skills. Many of racecourses have golf centres on site and at over 3,200 yards Aintree boosts one of the longest 9 hole courses in the country with the chance to play over the famous Becher’s Brook fence as well as having a 30 bay floodlit driving range. Several of our racecourses also offer a fun alternative to traditional golf known as footgolf. This hour long challenge is simply to kick the ball into the hole (trickier than it first seems)! The team or player with the fewest kicks is the winner, perfect for a lunchtime energiser or at tee time to round off your conference.

And to put all this to good use every delegate can claim two free tickets to a racecourse of their choice from a selection of fixtures across our portfolio.

Delegates will also be offered the opportunity to join Rewards for Racing which enables them to collect points on their everyday purchases and exchange them for unforgettable racing experiences.

Other racecourses in the group with golf centres and driving ranges include:

• Market Rasen • Newmarket

• Sandown • Warwick • Wincanton
