Doncaster Racecourse
One of the UK's leading venues for conferences, meetings, functions, exhibitions and trade shows in the City of Doncaster.
Our centrally located international conference, meetings and events complex
At the heart of its recent £34million development is an impressive five-storey grandstand which looks out over the course and beyond with private hospitality suites and a variety of glass-fronted rooms with huge sliding doors for access to your own balcony or terrace.
Our generous conference and event spaces span four floors and taking centre-stage is the Exhibition Hall, which offers a highly versatile 3,400 square metres. For smaller occasions, we have several rooms of varying sizes, each of which can be catered for your needs.
