The Quintessential English Venue
Anyone who has been to Ripon racecourse will find it easy to understand why the track was voted the ‘Best Racecourse in the North’ three times by the Racegoers Club in recent years.
The unspoilt façade of the stands and the attractive architecture of the racecourse buildings give the track a very traditional feel.
It’s no wonder it has been the location for several TV programs and films including Yorkshire favourites All Creatures Great And Small and Heartbeat.
Inside, the facilities are anything but old fashioned and they cater for every racegoers’ needs. Visitors can tuck into afternoon tea in the Club Dining Room and sip Champagne in the Silks and Saddles Bar.
There are less formal ways to quench one’s thirst in one of the popular bars and the Fountains Café serves a wide range of tasty food including its famous fish and chips.
The Course Enclosure allows visitors to bring their own picnics. With views of the finishing line and plenty of food and drinks outlets, it offers a wonderful experience on a summer’s day all at superb value.
