This world-acclaimed right-handed racecourse covers about 1 mile and 3 furlongs. Although predominantly flat, a few stiff tight turns emerge towards the uphill finish. The first grandstand at the racecourse was commissioned on 22 May 1767 at a cost of £1,000. However, a more elaborate £90,000 stand was unveiled in 1968. It has since won the now ubiquitous description of a simple sporting center without any pompous grandeur but one that fully serves its primary horse racing purposes all the same.
The premier enclosure is one of the most conspicuous features of Beverly Racecourse. It features a fabulously designed terrace. In a similar vein, the brand new Attraction Restaurant for afternoon tea and a la carte dining is another prominent feature of this racecourse. For patrons who have a keen appetite for cocktails, the Xing Cocktail Bar offers freshly done cocktails and tasty juices such as the Strawberry Daquiri in Yorkshire.
Additionally, the Beverly Racecourse grandstand and paddock is another outstanding feature that is worth a second look. Within this section, there is the Rapid Lad Bar for chips, sandwiches, hot pies, and a large bar that can put up a few hundreds of patrons. Within the enclosure, there is also the Paddock Bar for meat platters and seafood cold meat that also serves both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to racers and patrons alike. The Touch Above Bar is another hospitality section that cannot be overlooked when highlighting the great attractions at Beverly Racecourse. Other distinguished facilities within the grandstand and paddock area include the Sweet Delights goodie hut and the Minster Bar and Lavender Lawn which is famed for its great beverages.
Moreover, the course enclosure houses the widely liked Hurn Bar which provides affordable expertly prepared drinks and snacks. The course enclosure also has an expansive picnicking area in which visitors are allowed to carry their drinks around the recreational space.
Nevertheless, the racecourse operates on a pass system whereby entrants are supposed to have passed in order to be allowed into the sporting area. As such, you should present your card to Margaret at the Owner and Trainers entrance. Upon entrance, you will be served with the relevant vouchers for your use and access to the various amenities within the Yorkshire racing grounds. Note that the management does not let in people who do not have badges.*
