Carlisle

Carlisle Racecourse offers thoroughbred hospitality and overlooks nothing except the racecourse. 2010 sees Carlisle Racecourse hold a total of 22 race days of National Hunt and Flat racing, many of which have themes to make the day even more special.

Horse racing in the historic border city of Carlisle dates back to at least the 16th century, and some are of the opinion that it may even date back to Norse times. But one thing is sure, in 1904 horse racing in Carlisle moved to the current Blackwell site when the Duke of Devonshire failed to allow the renewal of the lease on the land at The Swifts.

The modern Edinburgh Woollen Mill Grandstand and ongoing investment of over £1.5M in racing facilities, including a new hurdle track. Carlisle Racecourse boasts one of the premier corporate hospitality venues in the north-west of England.
