Wolverhampton Racecourse

Wolverhampton has been redeveloped into an exciting leisure venue providing over 50 fixtures each year. Meetings take place on the All-Weather surface and the Saturday evening fixtures under the floodlights are particularly popular. A very tight, oval track, nimble, handy types go particularly well here.

Although it now without question the most enthusiastic and busy racing venue in the country, the history of Wolverhampton Racecourse is a tad patchy. Racing in the town of Wolverhampton allegedly started around 1825 and was a flourishing business until the property of the racecourse was sold in 1878.

Following the sale the course closed for almost a decade, until the Dunstall Park Club Company was formed and took on the project of resurrecting horse racing in Wolverhampton. They re-opened the venue and racing resumed. In 1933 the course made history, becoming the first flood-lit all-weather track in the United Kingdom. The conversion opened a world of possibility and Wolverhampton quickly developed a reputation as one of the most modern venues around. To keep the reputation alive the course was fitted with an exhibition hall, hotel and a panoramic restaurant, which made it an attraction to visitors from all over Great Britain.

In 1999 Wolverhampton Racecourse was purchased by Arena Leisure Plc, who took it upon them to improve even further on the course, track and trimmings. Since then the number of fixtures has soared, as has the number of visitors.

Wolverhampton Racecourse is located in Dunstall Park, Wolverhampton.
