Warwick’s circuit is regarded as one of the fairest tracks in the country, and impressive victories over either the jumps or flat course are often a sign of great things to come. Racegoers here are often the first to see the potential of future champion horses and the return of established stars to the course ensures high-quality fields for races such as the Tote Classic Chase over jumps and The Listed Eternal Stakes on the flat. Racing is all year round here with 23 fixtures, 14 of which fall on weekends, bank holidays and evenings.
The racecourse is one of the oldest in the country, with racing having taken place here since the early 18th century. This year is Warwick’s 300th anniversary with birthday celebrations planned for the 24th June racing fixture and other events planned for the lead-up to the big day.
Facilities
Warwick Racecourse can offer visitors one of the foremost hospitality and entertainment venues in racing today. Within the Grandstand you’ll find four bars, two restaurants, an informal dining area and a betting hall. In addition, private suites, a third restaurant and another bar can be found in the Paddock Building. There are further food and drink outlets around the course, as well as ample car parking space.
Locality
The racecourse is right by the city’s medieval castle so there’s no excuse for not taking in the sights before or after a meeting. Warwick boasts a wealth of specialist independent shops, restaurants, pubs and accommodation, and the city’s vibrant cultural scene – there are three annual festivals held here – means there’s plenty to take in before you head home.
