With race-goers arriving upon the Knavesmire in their thousands, York Racecourse is one of the most popular racecourses not only in the UK but in all of Europe – hosting some of the most prestigious races in the racing calendar.

Once you have selected your chosen raceday and put your gladrags on it is time to head down to the course, but why not stop off for some delightful food and drink from one of many local cafes and eateries on your way from the city centre.

You can be sure to find plenty of food and drink options to fuel your day, as well as many activities going throughout the day from live music, fashion shows and many many more!

All this before the racing even begins, it is a guarantee that you will witness some of the finest horses and jockeys in the world and the long straight promises a thrilling end to each race.
