Set on 92 acres of open reservoir, we’re proud to be one of the top racing clubs in the Midlands.

You’ll be guaranteed competitive racing both Saturday and Sunday throughout the year with Thursday evening racing from May through to the end of August.

Whatever your racing experience there’s something for you, race against national champions in our gold league or dip your toes into racing in our trainer supported novice race series.
