Newbury Racecourse in West Berkshire

Possibly the nicest racecourse I've been to for accessibility, atmosphere, easy access to bars. Plenty of places to grab a burger & fries or dine indoors. The grandstand views are brilliant, both for the course and the parade ring & winner's enclosure. I was lucky enough to have 3 winners including 'Kandoo Kid' in the Coral Gold Cup 🏆

One of the finer race courses in Great Britain

Great course at any time of the year

First time at Newbury went with friends and grandson. We had a great day out.

A large racecourse with good views from anywhere. Plenty of outdoor seating and food available, as well as indoor facilities. Good for families, as there is plenty of room to run around!

Came for the fireworks ,good parking ,good fireworks ,just wish I'd found the food stalls. Hidden round corner.

Great venue for a fireworks display

Race goers package is pricy but buffet style means you get decent choice and portions. Prosecco price is still ludicrous though.

Had a fantastic day at the Races! Wonderful facilities. A long time since I went racing at Newbury and the changes made are excellent!

Very impressive as a race course, a few glitches The races have horses and jockeys who both get injured. Well noticed art work for sale in side a warm building and I also noticed hats for sales in a warm building however the charity which supports the injured had to stand out on the cold. Not correct. This charity should have its own space in a building with light and warmth. I am a diabetic I need good quality food, not pre-made sandwiches. Nothing offered.

Good facilities and friendly, helpful staff. A fun day out.

Celebration with friends. Nice suite. Staff very helpful.

It felt like I was in the moment

A good day out but set your limit £££ No giving 5 stars as there's alot of drunken idiots gobbing off from the stands and lots of drunken idiots staggering around pushing women out their way in queues. My wife even looked at me at one point because she though I was going to hit a drunk for pushing my wife out of the way. But that would of ruined the whole day. Not sure if we'd go again because of this.

We had a great day out here,we even won a couple of races,which was great. The Barstaff were brilliant, very friendly and efficient, and no queues. One of the better racecourses we have been to

Attended and traded at Retrofest ........ great weekend for experiencing music, food and entertainment from the 50s to 90s

Had a nice day at the races nice view of the race and some nice variety of vendors to choose something to eat and I won couple of quid so all in all a nice day 👍🏼

So it may cost a bit, but the good thing is you can win it all back. Don't bet on the favourites...

I visited for a wool show, loads of free parking, easy accessible, buildings clean and well presented. We did eat there and food was OK.

Great fun afternoon at the races, we'll organised and entertaining, Not a cheap day out but worth doing once in a while. Easy to get to either walk from Newbury town centre or there is a train station at the racecourse.

Had a great day out with the team at Newbury. Hospitality was a good standard and great value compared to some race events. 👍

Great Southern Wool Show venue with lots of fantastic knitting and Crochet goodies

Premier race course, but this comes with Premier prices !!

Easy to get to, lots of decent parking. I visited the Southern Wool Show!

For anyone who has not experienced live horseracing, then Newbury racecourse is a superb starting point. The coarse has ample space to really enjoy your day. Staff are very helpful & experienced. Under 18 go free when accompanied by an adult.

A really nice setting for a great day out.

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.

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.

Excellent Horse race course Nice family Outing for a day

Nice place. But bring your card.

No problem with the racing but one of the most expensive racecourses I have visited £28 for a Friday afternoon 🤬🤬🤬 rip off

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!

Great day out. Can't wait to return.

Overpriced food & drink but as expected really. A day at the races, not far from home so can't complain

A great day out with family and friends!

Best race course in the country. Know how to look after you. Unreal

Lots of food options, and bars. £7.20 for a pint is quite steep especially after paying for entry. But overall enjoyed my time there.

Here for a conference. Fab facilities.

Great day, although we had a burger, it wasn't cooked fresh and when I tried to put sauce in it the cheese and roll were stuck together, there were no cooked onions which disappointed my other half. Not worth the money. We knew it would be expensive but thought the quality would be better! Loved our day though!

The Hong Kong Garden Performance Venue at Newbury Racecourse has opened and more Hong Kong singers will come to perform

Great vibe , delicious food and the area is kept clean constantly.

Great place to visit, great racing, great atmosphere

Held a company event here and it was well worth it. Location is obviously impressive but also the staff were super friendly and helpful. Would definitely run another event there.

Went as a visitor to a corporate event. Nice location, easy to get to. Decent event room with good facilities.

Amazing atmosphere good for a quick bite to eat

Great day out, and would go again

Great racecause loads of facilities. If you love racing, you'll love Newbury!

We booked a table in the Berkshire Lounge excellent service and food .All staff from bar staff to security very pleased and helpful,will be going back.Train station is right next to the course which is great

Staff were very good at reception Left early though as a 2 HR delay to racing following medical emergency and weather shocking

Great day out for the whole family.

We always have a really good day at Newbury Races, and this time was no exception. We took our young baby and, to our delight, were informed by several friendly staff of a room for breastfeeding. This was so unexpected but appreciated massively. Well done!

Excellent conference centre. Except their heating is poor

The staff were amazing couldn’t do enough for us . A lovely race course will be coming back

Had a student event on the 2nd March on a raceday. 1/2 the venue was off limits. We had no idea and were asked to leave an indoor area because we had no wrist bands?... the area was practically empty. Freezing cold day and no where to sit indoors as all non-students had no where to go....so glad I didn't take my child as I would of had to of left it was so cold! Will be giving this a miss in the future.

Newbury is an amazing Racecourse. The facilities are great and the view of the course is good. A great place.

I like the environment and hospital ity

Two experiences of Newbury: 1. Decent day of racing in Premier hospitality that was unfortunately ruined by inept security and safety stewards, who insisted on 'be seated' rules during the Tom Jones gig, only for them to allow pissheads to completely ignore and spoil it for everyone. Then gave poor attitude when we questioned this. 2. Exceptional experience in the Hennessey which could not be faulted. Simply loved it. Staff, food and racing were all A1. Lovely racecourse overall!

That was a great day out at the newbury races

Great place to go racing, good view of the track.

Absolutely incredible day at Newbury races. The first time visiting and had the opportunity to spend the day in the hospitality suite.

Thanks to Sky VIP for the free tickets! Really nice course which has its own railway station (Newbury Racecourse). But it's in quite a remote location, so don't get there too early otherwise you will be walking around until opening time. The hotel next to the course (The Lodge) doesn't open to race goers on race days but there is a nice cafe on the other side of the railway bridge through an industrial park about 15 mins walk away.

We went on a super Saturday betfair day.... I don't know anything about horse racing but it seemed to be a big deal. There are 2 tiers of entry ticket with the more expensive one giving you access to the finish line paddock. Plenty of bars and food around, pricey but not extortionate. Service was quick, but I don't think the venue was that full. What is good is that the train station is almost part of the race course, so it's less than a minutes walk. We were lucky with weather, so for us it was a good day out.

I'm not into horse racing per se but having been invited a couple of times I must say I had a fabulous day with an owner and thought the whole place was run very well, good food which was outstanding and very friendly staff and attendees were genuine horse enthusiasts, hope I get invited again

Great day out. Very old course and buildings, so full of character. Friendly staff and didn't eat, but the food looked and smelled lovely in the little grandstand cafe/restaurant. Lots of stands and viewing areas, many under cover for a decent view in bad weather. Short walk into town with plenty of good bars and restaurants.

Beautiful racecourse with good views of the entire racetrack. Good facilities.

Really nice Racecourse. Stayed in the Lodge on the course. Thoroughly recommended👌

Great day at the races, we had really friendly staff and enjoyed it all despite the weather.

Very easy to get to and always an enjoyable meet

Cashless apart from the Bookies,don't take your own food it will be Confiscated, buy your tickets in advance as its cheaper!

Great day, caught the train, which was a good choice due to fog and ice.

Our friends have just bought a flat overlooking the course. Massive flats all alongside the course now. I don't think any were built when I actually attended a meeting years ago. I won a few quid that time.

Work conference. Had no choice but to be there. Using animals for gambling purposes is wrong in my eyes.

Very enjoyable day and the Hennessy Hospitality package was excellent. Unfortunately, leaving the racecourse had it's problems which is difficult to resolve.

A great place for a day out. Plenty of parking. Visited in December, plenty of food and drink outlets indoors and outdoors. Carousel free for all. And there's even an after party. You don't have to bet on the horses but if you do know your limits.

Great place to go if the trains are running alright.

This was an amazing day out, thanks to Sky VIP for this, really enjoyed it and will visit again

Great day out. So much to choose from if you want to eat, from street food to fine dining, it’s all here. Well run security & lots of staff to help you navigate the large venue in safety. Plenty of bars and after party. If you’ve got time there are some horse races that may be of interest😉

Great day out with a good group of friends.

Fabulous day at Newbury Racecourse - we had a table in The RaceGoers Restaurant. Great venue to watch the races from. It was initially cold in the room but warmed up as the day went on. Food was an interesting buffet. It was a little chaotic as everyone went for food but there were plenty of stations to get food from. Excellent service by the staff (Will waiting table, James managing the restaurant). Thank you. Hopeless betting!!

Very nice racecourse, plenty of places to eat and drink, the only downside of the day is the time to get out of the course bt car. But other than that we'll worth a visit.

Went for the vw event, slough swap meet very good.

Fabulous course bars were very posh great food

Felt a bit on the sidelines here. Furthest car park away from entrance (5) and all too corporate for my liking.

Great place to go if you love your Racing, good Family day out

Lovely facilities and a good standard of racing, my big complaint is that due to the large size of the track this is possibly one of the worst courses for viewing the racing I have visited!Couple that with the fact that the giant screen is so far away from the grandstand it was almost impossible to pick your horse out until the closing stages!On the plus side the course did give concessions to senior citizens!All in all would probably return again.

Nice ground, but i only went for the Lions' fireworks 🎆

Very well organized and was well looked after

Great views, weekdays are better. Lots of bars and food. Easy parking, a bit of a regular queue for hot drinks

It was nice and enjoyable with places to bet ,watch the race,eat,you could even see the horses really up close but the only downside was that the food was quite expensive and that it wasn't really kids friendly.

We went to the Hennessey Restaurant & the first 2 courses were amazing. The service for that was also great. However, refills of complimentary drinks were missing from the front row, despite being readily poured on others. The dessert & afternoon tea left a lot to be desired & I would definitely not advise. They need to employ an accomplished pastry chef, as well as the savoury specialist. The service should also be of the same level throughout. Wowed at first & disappointed by half way through the experience.

Amazing day out at the races. Facilities excellent and access / parking superb. My favourite racecourse!

Great experience. Premier enclosure worth the extra cost to be close to the action.

Amazing place. My first time here & what an experience. Will definitely be back!

One of the best firework displays I’ve been to. They had a great choice of food stalls. Great atmosphere.

Visited for a work function. Staff helpful and friendly. Venue comfortable.

Great course, with some fantastic housing on sire if you win big!

Great venue for a wargame show, lol not the horse racing

Went for the horse racing, and Olly Murs was a bonus for the ladies, but I have to say he was very good.

Lovely venue, loads of disabled parking. Toilets nice and clean!

For the amount of people that was there it was very well organised. The caterers and the bars etc. Very little wait time. Had a fantastic day at the races and we had 5 winners out of the 7 races.
