Other popular venues
York Racecourse sits at the Knavesmire, fifteen minutes south of York Minster. The Ebor Festival runs 19 to 22 August 2026: four days, twenty-six races, the Juddmonte International on Wednesday and the Ebor Handicap on Saturday. Hospitality is the Dante Suite or the Ebor Restaurant.
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.
