Set against the open expanse of the Knavesmire, York Racecourse provides a distinctive setting where sporting heritage, hospitality and modern event facilities come together. With racing at the site dating back to 1731, our venue has a long-standing connection with major occasions and now welcomes conferences, exhibitions, corporate hospitality, weddings, dinners, awards ceremonies and private events. Our facilities are designed to accommodate events on very different scales, with capacity for up to 650 delegates and around 2,000m² of flexible exhibition space. Large stands, hospitality suites, private boxes, restaurants, bars and viewing areas provide organisers with a broad choice of environments, while our outdoor lawns and trackside locations create additional possibilities for distinctive event experiences.
