Cartmel Park grandstand is a state-of-the-art venue, located on Cartmel racecourse. Set in over 30 acres of farm and parkland, this multi-functional venue offers an impressive but tranquil setting, with views over the rolling countryside of what can be described as one of the prettiest villages in England.

Suitable for a range of events, including conference, meeting, party or wedding, Cartmel Racecourse offers a memorable experience. Big enough to entertain a large gathering, small enough to guarantee exclusive use and a support team dedicated entirely to your requirements. Our on-site caterers, Campbell & Rowley, like to make sure that every event receives the special attention that it deserves.

Located just 20 minutes from the M6 motorway and 4 miles from the southern tip of Lake Windermere.

Accessibility Notes

Our course is very much like its encompassing Lake District with the majority of the course situated on grass. We have a limited number of accessible spaces available and unfortunately cannot guarantee use of a space on each race day. With these limitations in mind, please think of those who may struggle most with our large grass race course. Personal assistants receive complimentary general admission – please contact the Racecourse Office directly and we will be able to help you with this.
