Jockey Club Catering
In 2010 Jockey Club Racecourses and
Compass Group UK & Ireland formed
a joint venture, ‘Jockey Club Catering’,
which offers top quality catering,
hospitality and service across The Jockey
Club’s entire portfolio of venues on
racedays as well as for conferences and
events. There’s a fantastic range of set
menus available, from canapés to four
course formal banqueting, all created
from the freshest seasonal ingredients,
sourced locally wherever possible. As well
as offering a choice of menus, Jockey
Club Catering is also available to help
event organisers design bespoke options
for their guests.
AV & Staging Partners
Carlisle Racecourse can offer a full audio
visual (AV) specification across the venue
and we also work with a number of
local AV partners for more detailed
and technical event briefs.
Staging and effects are easy to
facilitate with Carlisle’s flexible spaces,
high ceilings, vehicular access and 24
hour operational access available
where required.
Jockey Club Racecourses
Racing requires a lot of space and
Jockey Club Racecourses own more
than 3000 acres of prime British
countryside as well as many notable
and historic buildings. With a total of
81 function rooms and 230 syndicate
rooms, Jockey Club Racecourses can
seat 9 times more people than the Royal
Albert Hall, across 14 venues in the
United Kingdom.
Carlisle Racecourse is one of three
Jockey Club Racecourses in the North
West of England, along with Aintree and
Haydock Park. Aintree Racecourse is
located equidistant to Manchester and
Liverpool and is home to The Crabbie’s
Grand National Festival. Haydock Park
is ideally situated just off junction 23
of the M6 in acres of glorious parkland
and offers conference and banqueting
capacity for 400 people.
