Set within 150 acres of Essex countryside, Chelmsford City Racecourse was created to be not only a home for racing enthusiasts but a versatile, contemporary and prestigious venue for corporate and private events all year round. A mere 15 minutes from Stansted Airport and adjacent to the A131, we offer accessibility, whilst providing a welcome alternative to a busy, noisy city-based event space.
Our experience and facilities provide us with the ability to cater for a vast range of events at Chelmsford City Racecourse. Over the years we have hosted trade shows, wedding receptions and charity galas as well as conventions and fairs. Alongside this we are popular with businesses, having worked with a number of companies to provide an ideal location for networking, presentations, conferencing, meeting spaces, team building, and corporate events.
