York Racecourse is one of the Premier tracks in Europe having recently won the Northern Racecourse of the Year Award and also coming out top in The Times Newspaper survey of all Britain's racecourses.

York's history can be traced back to Roman and Viking times and it is now a bustling city which continues to grow as a commercial, tourist and regional centre. The city's attractions include the Jorvik Viking Centre and National Railway Museum as well as the famous York Minster, Castle and City Walls. It also offers a fine range of restaurants, shopping opportunities and an extensive selection of excellent hotel accommodation.

The venue is easily accessible by road & rail -
