We all had an absolutely brilliant time. It was so well organised, the decorations looked amazing and we just couldn’t fault it. All of the staff were amazing, from the moment we got out of the taxi to the moment we left. We will definitely be recommending it to others and be looking at what you’re doing next year.

We have organised events at Wolverhampton racecourse for over 5 years and they are superb. We run over 400 events per year and we have raised over £23million for Cancer Research UK so we need to work with venues that are easy to deal with and the racecourse certainly ticks that box. The easy-to-deal-with sales staff combined with the fantastic on the day staff make this a great venue.

We teach 10 to 17 year olds to drive so adequate driving space & good facilities are key for us. We are very happy with the four venues that we use; easy to book, flexible and always happy to help. Lingfield is a great size with good hospitality facilities, Chepstow has good indoor hospitality facilities, Newcastle is a very good workable size & Sedgefield, a new venue for Young Driver but early feedback is very positive.
