An impressive, flexible, stylish and unique conference and events venue in the heart of East Anglia.

For over 350 years Newmarket Racecourses has been synonymous with horse racing's classic events. Our Millennium Grandstand, located at the heart of the East of England, is an impressive venue, with a stunning backdrop of the Heath. The picturesque site offers modern indoor facilities, flexible meeting rooms, stylish banqueting suites, spacious exhibition halls, beautiful outdoor spaces and ample free parking. Just a few miles from Cambridge, the Rowley Mile benefits from swift and easy access thanks to its proximity to the A11 and A14.

17 days a year the Rowley Mile transforms into a world class racecourse offering fantastic sponsorship opportunities, luxury hospitality and fine dining experiences and group bookings. For the remainder of the year it is available for large scale conferences for up to 500 delegates, consumer and trade exhibitions, business meetings, interactive team building events, product launches, private parties - and in December, our renowned Christmas party nights.

It is a location which lends itself to any event and always offers a very special sense of occasion, thanks to the racecourse environment and its inextricable links to sporting excellence and royal history.
We have a highly experienced Conference and Events team who will help plan and accommodate your event needs to the highest level. Working with our trusted suppliers and our in-house catering team we will ensure your experience of hosting an event at Newmarket Racecourses is of exceptional quality.

The Runners Lounge is a comfortable and stylish conference room located on the second floor in the historic Head on Stand at the Rowley Mile. With an abundance of natural daylight and easy access
to the Guineas Suite as a separate area for catering and registration, it’s a popular choice for mid-sized events for up to 80 delegates.

    Absolutely shocking experience at Newmarket Races seeing Becky Hill, I had never been but friends have been a few times and this time we decided to try the shuttle bus to the station as previously they have had to wait 2hrs to get out of the car park. This experience ruined the whole afternoon and evening, what is the point in running a shuttle bus that doesn't get you to the station in time for your train, even if it is free? So we missed our train, there is no signal whatsoever at the races and so we couldn't even arrange an alternative until we had got to the station. The roads were all gridlocked, no extra trains put on despite there being 22000 people at the concert! I don't know how this place still runs! I will never be going there again!
