A day at the races- what does it take behind the scenes and what does Newbury Racecourse offer?

Keith Ottenson and Harry Walklin, two key players in the Newbury Racecourse team, recently spoke to Paul about their roles and the exciting events happening at the racecourse.

From summer evening series concerts featuring Sir Tom Jones and Olly Murs to opportunities for free entry for Under 18s, there’s something for everyone at Newbury.

Located in the heart of the South of England, Newbury Racecourse is easily accessible by car or train. Plus, with on-site parking and a railway station within walking distance of The Lodge – a new hotel located in the racecourse estate – getting there couldn’t be simpler.

For an elite racing experience, look no further than Lounge 303.

Located on the third floor of the Berkshire Stand, this exclusive space offers VIP treatment and stunning views of the final straight and finish line.

Just reopened after a £1,500,000 renovation, The Hennessy Restaurant provides the perfect vantage point for year-round racing. Similarly, Race Goers restaurant offers panoramic views along the entirety of the course from the Dubai Duty Free Grandstand.

For a more relaxed day out, enjoy Park ‘n’ Picnic spots along the final straight.

With so much to offer, Newbury Racecourse is the perfect destination for a day out with friends and family.
