The Centaur

 

For larger events, The Centaur has the wow factor. It has played host to award ceremonies, exhibitions and live events including World Championship Snooker, Paul Weller, and Jools Holland, and can morph seamlessly from a theatre style auditorium for 2,200 people to a dinner dance for 700 or a vibrant exhibition space. Its versatility is endless and it offers the largest single event space in the local area.​

​

It has its own separate kitchen, with our award-winning catering team ready to create and serve your bespoke menus. Our experienced technical team use state-of-the-art lighting and AV equipment to bring your unique ideas to life.​

​

It has ensuite dressing rooms and 3 sides are overlooked by a balcony providing either additional exhibition space or a safe viewing platform to survey the action below. ​

​

The Centaur is easily accessed through the grand glass fronted main entrance with a large lobby or for a more intimate feel, through the historic Hall of Fame where your guests can browse the displays documenting the Racecourse’s rich history.​
