Newbury Racecourse Unveils New Sky Sports Racing Lounge

William Hill Super Saturday marked the official opening of the new Sky Sports Racing Lounge, as part of Newbury Racecourse’s expanded partnership with Sky Sports Racing.

The refurbished lounge – formerly known as the Premier Plus Lounge – is located on the first floor of Newbury Racecourse’s historic Berkshire Stand. The renovation and rebrand reflect the strengthened relationship between Newbury Racecourse and Sky Sports Racing, with all 31 of Newbury’s raceday fixtures broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing each year.

Access to the Sky Sports Racing Lounge is available across 22 racedays in 2026 and is unlocked with a Premier Plus ticket. Premier Plus tickets were first introduced in 2025 and sold out in record time, highlighting strong demand for premium raceday experiences at the Racecourse.

Guests in the Sky Sports Racing Lounge can enjoy a range of exclusive benefits on racedays, including:
· Exclusive use of a private bar with reserved lounge seating and reserved course-facing terraced seating
· In-lounge tipster advice, a complimentary racecard and a table service for food
· Visits from Sky Sports Racing presenters and personalities, as well as giveaways

Lia Hampton, Marketing Director at Sky Sports Racing, said: “We’re thrilled to be able to open the new Sky Sports Racing Lounge as we work with the team at Newbury to enhance fans’ experience. The new lounge offers racegoers an exclusive opportunity to get closer to the action and our Sky Sports Racing talent and ambassadors are looking forward to spending time with fans in the lounge at upcoming racedays.”

Harry Walklin, Marketing Director at Newbury Racecourse, said: “Our Premier Plus lounge has been one of the Racecourse’s most popular offerings since its opening in 2025 and we’re excited for racing fans to experience the new look space courtesy of our expanded partnership with Sky Sports Racing. Racegoers can enjoy all the refurbished lounge has to offer across 22 racedays in 2026 with access priced from £45.”

The Sky Sports Racing Lounge has already sold out for several major fixtures in 2026, including William Hill Super Saturday, the BetVictor Jumps Season Finale, Dubai Duty Free Spring Trials, BOYLE Sports Lockinge with Ladies Day, and Weatherbys Super Sprint Day featuring Ronan Keating.

Premier Plus tickets for the Sky Sports Racing Lounge are priced from £45 in 2026 and can be purchased via the button below.
