On the 5th May 2007 Uttoxeter Racecourse celebrated 100 years of racing. In 1907 admission to the racecourse cost just one shilling (5p) and was largely patronised by the nobility, gentry and sportsmen of the county. It was in 1988 when the late Sir Stanley Clarke took over, that the transformation into the racecourse that we know today truly began. Uttoxeter was turned into an award winning racecourse, with a reputation for customer service and innovation.

Dress Code for Uttoxeter Racecourse:

People like to dress up when they come racing during the summer months, and on our themed days such as Ladies Night and Country & Western Day there is often a prize for the best dressed! However, we are not strict with our dress-code. For hospitality we ask that you are smart/casual and jeans are not permitted. For all enclosures we do not allow bare tops, ripped/torn jeans and football/rugby shirts.
