Newton Abbot Racecourse

We are the largest venue in a popular area of South Devon which is easily accessible by public transport and an easy journey from the M5 via the A380. It is just a few minutes from the town but has views across the racecourse to beautiful countryside. We are quite close to the coast with Torquay being just seven miles away and the gateway to Dartmoor is less than half an hour away by car.

The venue is versatile with a number of rooms of different dimensions and can accommodate from 12 up to 300 delegates for a conference offering half day or full day delegate rates. A/V equipment and free Wi-Fi are available and both are included in the delegate rates.

On site is ample free parking and there is a Premier Inn at the entrance to the racecourse.

The in-house catering operation produces excellent food, all locally sourced and home-made by our head chief and his team for whatever type of function and it offers a very courteous and friendly service to all visitors. A licensed bar can be provided for all private functions.
Wedding receptions are a speciality and we can cater for up to 200 guests offering very competitive rates and mouth-watering menus. The catering team work very closely with brides and their families to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the big day.

All in all, an ideal venue for conferences and celebration parties.
