The Iconic Christmas & Boxing Day Meeting
Wetherby is one of only two racecourses in the North of England to host racing on Boxing Day, making it a cornerstone of the festive sporting calendar.
Our Christmas Meeting Hospitality is incredibly popular and typically sells out months in advance. We provide a festive, high-energy environment featuring:
-
Mulled Wine Receptions: A warm welcome to kick off the holiday celebrations.
-
Festive Menus: Traditional Christmas dining with all the trimmings.
-
The Bramham Hall: Often utilized for larger shared hospitality parties during the festive period, offering a great social vibe for groups of all sizes.
A New Era: Dual-Code Racing Excellence
While Wetherby was historically a “Jumps only” track, it now hosts a full calendar of Flat Racing during the summer months. This transition means we can offer Wetherby hospitality year-round, from the mud-splattered drama of a winter steeplechase to the high-speed elegance of summer sprints.
With over 40 years of experience in the industry, AR Events is perfectly placed to advise you on the best fixture for your needs. Whether it’s the thrill of the jumps or the speed of the flat, we guarantee a day of high-quality service and exhilarating sport.
