From the editorial
Field guides, dress codes, and insider notes from our hosts on the ground.
York Racecourse sits at the Knavesmire, fifteen minutes south of York Minster. The Ebor Festival runs the second week of August, four days, twenty-six races, with the Juddmonte International on Wednesday and the Ebor Handicap on Saturday.
Four days, twenty-six races, every August.
York is the Glorious Goodwood of the North. The dress code is enforced, the lawns are immaculate, and the Wednesday-Saturday card pairs well with a Yorkshire Dales extension. Hospitality moves your guests off the public concourse and into a box or the County Stand, with lunch served through the card.
Every York booking carries County Stand or box access, lunch and tea served, transfers from York city centre, and a named host through the four days.
The difference we make
Twenty-five years of working the Ebor Festival. We know which York hotel runs the closest Knavesmire shuttle, which County Stand box catches the home straight, and how the Tuesday-Saturday meeting pairs with a Yorkshire Dales evening if your guests want to extend.
Every package carries a named host across the four-day meeting, transfers from York or Leeds, and a pre-race briefing on the form notes worth watching.
