With a rich history dating back to the 16th century, Doncaster is one of Britain’s oldest horse racing venues. Throughout the year, we host 37 Flat and National Hunt fixtures, including the historic Doncaster Cup (the oldest horse race still run under racing rules, first held in 1766), The Lincoln (the British flat season opener), and the November Handicap (the traditional flat season finale).
Beyond racing, Doncaster is celebrated for its exceptional corporate events, exhibitions, weddings, private parties, and our famous Christmas Live Party Nights.
A day at Doncaster Racecourse promises an unmatched atmosphere, excitement, and spectacle. We look forward to welcoming you.
Our award-winning chefs create vibrant, crowd-pleasing menus using fresh, seasonal produce sourced from a network of UK farms. We prioritize quality and flavour, ensuring our menus cater to all guests, including vegetarian, vegan, and those with allergen requirements.
