Redcar Races

The Tees Valley is one of the United Kingdom’s most pleasant areas. It has a little of everything which makes the country what it is. It has history, beauty and warm people. All these qualities come salubriously together at Redcar Races.

While the local history of racing predates the modern racecourse, it wasn’t until the late 19th century that the course found its true home, the site on which it stands today. One of the region’s most loved centres for all things which have to do with horse and rider, this marvellous place is a melting pot of people looking to sample the various aspects which make the best Redcar Races something unique.

There are two main sides to this special Tees Valley racecourse. The first one being, quite obviously, the exciting calendar of fixtures which typically run from April through to October.

This is when people from all over the region, country and often internationally come to experience some of the finest flat racing in Britain. All who have been to one of the fixtures will know what a palpable sense of fun and excitement is to be found in and around the track. Every area of the grounds and buildings is a thriving, exciting place where people congregate in anticipation of the start of the next event.

Even if you’re not a serious punter and just like the spectacle, then you’re going to feel most welcome at this friendly and beautiful track.

When it comes to deciding on exactly how you want to experience Redcar Races, there are quite a few options and they are certainly worth having a look at before you head off for the day or evening. Of course, you can always just turn up and pay admission, granting you access to either the Grandstand Enclosure or the Course Enclosure. The Course Enclosure is ideal for families and groups looking for an economical and fun day out.

Located in the 35 acres of the centre of the course, it offers the perfect place for those who would like to bring a picnic and perhaps lay a wager or three at the accessible tote. It is the only enclosure where visitors are permitted to bring their own food, although alcohol and BBQs are not permitted. But even if you just want to sit under the sun and watch the action, there are numerous food outlets, bars and just about every amenity a family could require to make the most of the rare moments of British sunshine, and your favourite horse might just be the one crossing the winning post first.

Those who prefer to enjoy a day of Redcar Races in a more time-honoured manner will certainly find themselves with Grandstand Enclosure badges. There are many ways to secure Grandstand access.

You can simply turn up and buy a ticket, presuming they haven’t all been sold out, or you can be a holder of a season ticket, which is one of the better options for the regular racegoer, but there are also a variety of hospitality packages which include Grandstand access as part of the price. Those who find themselves in the Grandstand Enclosure will have access to all the public areas of the course. From the Winners’ Enclosure and Parade Ring, to the lovely bars and exceptional restaurants of the main Grandstand, there is a special place with great views from where to enjoy a day or evening event.

Whenever there’s a meeting, the Grandstand Enclosure is filled with excited, convivial folk, either sitting and chattering with a glass of Champagne or rushing from the parade ring to the bookmakers or tote before the horses and riders get to the gate. Those who want to have the supreme pleasure, luxury and convenience of a table for the day at the lovely Crow’s Nest Restaurant, located on the second floor of the Main Grandstand, will have to book in advance, since there are a limited number of tables. For those who secure their spot, it’s day of traditional Redcar Races pleasure, including a 3-course a la carte meal and afternoon tea, and, what’s more, you’ll have the table as base for the whole day.

Food and drink options abound at this special Tees Valley racecourse. From the superb Malton and Middleham Bars on the first floor of the main Grandstand, to the Zetland Terrace and the Champagne and Pimm’s Bar located next to the parade ring, those who like to take a refined drink in the company of other discerning racegoers will have a wealth of options.

Social and corporate hospitality is also a big part of the racecourse. Both raceday and non-raceday hospitality packages are available. Raceday packages are available for all who would like to impress clients, colleagues or family and friends.

From the vaunted exclusivity of the private viewing boxes, which are ideal for intimate groups, to the luxurious Paddock Suites and more capacious environs of a traditional Marquee, the options are likely to meet the demands of any occasion.

Naturally, you can expect all betting facilities within easy access of wherever your event is, not to forget the excellent meals, or, for larger gatherings, the fine catering which has become something of an attraction in itself.

On non-racedays, this Tees Valley racecourse becomes a prime destination for all types of events. From conferences, seminars and exhibitions, to outdoor events and weddings, it is a place which is busy all year round. And the excellent team of hospitality staff and caterers take pride in bringing the stamp of excellence to every occasion, large or small.
