Award Ceremony Venue
An iconic setting for prestigious events
Four impressive buildings, with over 50 unique and flexible conference and events spaces to support larger conferences with separate meeting, workshop, seminar and break-out areas.
Newbury Racecourse is the perfect venue for events that call for historic grandeur blended with modern event facilities, like award ceremonies. With 225 acres of expansive, verdant lawns, our venue provides panoramic views and versatile suites that can accommodate anywhere between 50 and 500 guests. The Owners’ Club, Grandstand and Berkshire and Hampshire Stands each feature floor-to-ceiling glazing, contemporary decor and integrated AV, so your stage and presentation look as impressive as the awards themselves.
