Our Client Reviews

Philippa Hallard, JD Outdoor

We had over 50 stalls and 1000 colleagues attend the 2 day event. The whole team at Doncaster were brilliant to work with, great help and nothing was too much trouble for them. All in all a brilliant venue and we cannot thank the team enough for making the event so easy to pull together.

Toby Edwards, Key Account Manager

Thanks very much for your hospitality, a great day had by all and please thank your Catering Team who did a fantastic job looking after us all day. Will look to book up again for next year.

Sonia Isard

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.

Jon Leonard, Ultra Events

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.
