Wetherby Racecourse
Dining & Hospitality
Some intro text here
Few events compare with the exciting spectacle of a day at the races and there is no better way to entertain clients, staff, family and friends than in the style and surroundings of a first-class racecourse.
The Wetherby Millennium Stand offers the very best in hospitality with panoramic views that extend beyond the racecourse and over the Yorkshire countryside.
Wetherby Millennium Stand
Luxurious private suites are available on the upper floors of the Wetherby Millennium Stand. Each suite has a private viewing balcony which presents a superb panorama of the racing action and the finish post. Guests can enjoy a sumptuous three or four course formal dining menu or hot & cold fork buffet.
Our private suite packages, The Meyrick or The Montagu offer everything you will need for a superb and memorable day, and are available for parties of between 13-250 guests.

Walk-ins – Due to the popularity of the White Rose Bistro we cannot guarantee availability for walk-ins on the day.
