Newbury Racecourse

This was the first time I have been to this race track and was not disappointed even though I didn't pick any winners! I recommend going on the tour and seeing the start line and traps. I went on a Friday and wasn't so packed as a weekend, which I preferred.

I went to Newbury Racecourse with some friends for a summer Race Day with a concert afterwards with Sigala. It was my first ever racing event, and I throughly enjoyed the experience (even though I lost all my bets!). The operation is slick, and they are well geared up to serving large numbers. There was over 10,000 visitors on the day we were there, but I didn’t wait more than a few minutes for any food, drink or toilets. The food and drink were priced as expected for an event, but I found that the quality of what I had was very good - the Pimms was great too! The atmosphere was fantastic, and the after event with Sigala was awesome. Overall, the whole day out was great fun, and gives you a good excuse to get a group of friends together to get dressed up!

A great day out, food & drink higher prices than the high street. If you like a flutter it's a great atmosphere, good choice of tic tac stands and tote services. Lots of security around for your safety. Prefer the Premier enclosure as not so busy as grandstand. Good well organised parking.
