For over 350 years Newmarket Racecourses has been synonymous with horse racing's classic events. The Millennium Grandstand, located at the heart of the East of England, is the ideal venue for your next event. Just a few miles from Cambridge, The Rowley Mile benefits from swift and easy access thanks to its proximity to the A11 and A14.

The Rowley Mile Racecourse is an inspirational venue where victory means everything. It follows, therefore, that when business clients use the Millennium Grandstand’s outstanding conference and meeting facilities, their event will be a clear-cut winner in every respect.

The picturesque site offers modern indoor facilities, flexible meeting rooms, stylish banqueting rooms, beautiful outdoor space and ample free parking. 17 days a year The Rowley Mile transforms into a world class racecourse offering sponsorship opportunities, hospitality and dining packages and group bookings.

For the remainder of the year it is available for exhibitions, conferences, meetings, team building, private parties - and in December, Christmas party nights.

It is a location which lends so much to any event taking place here, infusing it with a very special sense of occasion thanks to its racecourse environment and its inextricable links to sporting excellence and royal history.

Food and drink at Newmarket is provided by Jockey Club Catering, offering guests a range of mouth-watering menus, created from the freshest seasonal ingredients, sourced locally wherever possible to support local farmers.

The venue also supports Fairtrade farmers and their communities and a range of our produce is sourced from Fairtrade producers.

Choose from set menus from canapés to five course dinners or talk to the team for help in creating the perfect bespoke menu for your event.
