Cartmel Racecourse

Racing has been taking place at Cartmel since 1856. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful English Lake District, Cartmel Races rekindles the spirit of the original steeplechases, attracting large crowds who gather within the centre of the racecourse for picnics, parties and a flutter on the horses. The two public enclosures offer a great variety of viewing and hospitality options, from relaxed picnics to fine dining. During race meetings, racegoers can browse the shopping and food outlets, and enjoy fairground entertainment. A great place for family and friends to gather, the events are both social and informal in nature. The surfaces are predominately grass parkland - high heels are not ideal! Outside of the racing calendar, the iconic Cartmel Racecourse becomes a splendid venue for a range of corporate and social events and functions. As a licensed wedding venue, Cartmel Racecourse also provides a truly unique setting for a wedding celebration. Cartmel Racecourse is easily accessible, located just 20 minutes from Junction 36 of the M6 motorway.

Came here for the May Bank Holiday Meetings and was amazed. We have been to quite a few racecourses but this was a real experience, never been to one like this one. it was fabulous, a real party atmosphere with fun fair and bbq's and everyone is allowed to take there own food and drink and have a picnic if they wish. You can't see a lot of the course when the horses are racing but it is still great fun and very entertaining. We were very lucky and got fabulous weather but unfortunately if you don't get the weather then this lovely little course would be a wash out. We really loved it so we are going back next year.

Aintree Racecourse

There's nowhere quite like Aintree Racecourse, home of the world famous Randox Health Grand National. Steeped in history, drama, triumph and achievement, it is simply unique. The racecourse also hosts 5 racedays, outside the Randox Health National Festival, as well as conference and event for up to 3000 delegates.

Its a long trip to Aintree from Hampshire so was hoping for a good day. After getting in we had a fantastic days racing. As a regular visiter of jumps venues it was a bucket list to go to Aintree. Small crowd due to covid probably made it better. Only minor problem was getting a coffee as it was a long wait but just waited till later. Seriously pondering a grand national visit rather then cheltenham next year which keeps getting more and more expensive. Excellent staff very friendly.

Visited for the Peter Marsh stakes, paid for the County enclosure to ensure if the weather was poor we'd have somewhere to keep warm. As it was a sunny day we spent most of the time outside. Catered for gluten free, great parade ring and stands with seats opposite the finishing post. Fab day out.
