Product Launch Venue Berkshire
Spaces to connect, reward and entertain.
A product launch only gets one chance to land. The space you choose sets the tone before a single word is spoken, and at Newbury Racecourse, we give you the kind of setting that does the heavy lifting for you.
Set across 225 acres in the heart of Berkshire, our venue brings together more than 50 event spaces, state-of-the-art AV capability and a dedicated events team that has delivered everything from intimate press reveals to large-scale brand experiences for hundreds of guests.
Spaces that fit your vision
Whether you are unveiling a new vehicle on our ground floor concourse, presenting to investors in the Owners’ Club or hosting a consumer-facing activation across our outdoor grounds, you will find a space here that works.
Our Owners’ Club is a popular choice for product launches. Floor-to-ceiling windows open onto an outdoor terrace overlooking the famous Parade Ring, and the space seats up to 240 theatre-style or 250 for a standing reception. For something more expansive, the Grandstand ground floor offers 1,000-capacity open-plan space with direct vehicle access and hard standing for larger installations.
Every space comes equipped with modern conferencing technology, dedicated Wi-Fi and full AV support, so your presentation runs without a hitch.
Easy to reach, hard to forget
We are just off the M4 and M3, within an hour of both Heathrow and Southampton airports, and we have our own rail station with direct connections to London Paddington. Your guests arrive easily, and with 3,700 free parking spaces on site, there is no scrambling for logistics on the day.
For launches that run into the evening or span multiple days, our on-site hotel, The Lodge, offers 36 rooms just a two-minute walk from your event space. It is a genuine advantage that few venues outside London can match.
More than just a space
What sets a product launch apart is the detail around it. Our in-house catering team, powered by Levy, works with you to create menus that match the feel of your event, from working lunches to canape receptions. We can arrange live entertainment, branded experiences and bespoke themes across indoor and outdoor areas.
We have also welcomed film and TV crews for productions large and small, so if your launch involves a live stream, content capture or media activation, our team understands exactly what is needed to make it run smoothly.
