Uttoxeter

Uttoxeter Racecourse, set in Staffordshire, England, is well know for its national hunt racing. Well positioned for transport links, its ideal for a day at the races and also an opportunity do enjoy it in the scenic surroundings of the Staffordshire countryside. This makes it perfect for a family day out, or even one on your lonesome if you’re looking for a exciting time in your own company!

The 1 mile 2½ course itself is challenging for horse and jockey alike, which can make for some great races and inevitably excitement for spectators. It has a four furlongs home straight, making for competitive races that often favour front runners.

There’s no shortage of racing calendar at Uttoxeter, with the 4m 1f 110y Midlands Grand National surely being the jewel in the crown. This listed race as well as the likes of the Summer Cup in June draw in large crowds and top-tier talent to see the best of jump racing in the flesh. Alongside this, the racecourse hosts a number of other fixtures throughout the year, so it’s also an option if you’re looking for a day at the races. They’re not shy of being quirky either, as Aprils Sausage & Cider Festival Raceday attests to.

Uttoxeter’s facilities are designed to cater to all, so whether you’re looking for a quick bite to eat and a pint, or a three course meal, there are options for you. They offer private boxes and raceday packages such as ‘the 1907 premium’ which offers various exclusive perks such as the not to be missed viewing balcony. All of this adds up to a memorable experience. Beyond the racing, Uttoxeter Racecourse plays host to live music, theme nights, as well as family days too, so there’s no need to get a babysitter! It’s a versatile venue, and well worth a visit.
