AYR RACECOURSE
Ayr Racecourse is the premier
racecourse in Scotland, home
to the Coral Scottish Grand
National and the William Hill
Gold Cup Festivals. It hosts
up to 30 race meetings a year
and is the only Grade One
track in the country, so if you
fancy a day at the races it’s
a no-brainer that Ayr’s the
place to be. Set in 155 acres,
it’s one of the best viewing
courses too; not surprising
considering horse racing
dates back to the 17th century
in this part of the country. It
was opened in 1907 for its
ideal flat track, and national
hunt racing became part of
the picture in 1950. If you
think donning a hat is only
done at Aintree however,
think again. There are Club
and Grandstand tickets for
most of the meetings held,
and spectators certainly like
to dress up for the occasion.
Make your day at the races
even
more
memorable
with the course’s corporate
hospitality facilities, which
offer fantastic views over
the course. Award-winning
chefs create wonderfully
delicious dishes, champagne
flows freely from morning till
night, and you leave feeling
special whenever you visit Ayr
Racecourse.
