Below is a list of all the things you’ll need to consider when planning the party of the year…

Timings

Timing can make or break an event – consider travel times for guests, what day of the week would work best, their activities prior to attending, can your guests reach your chosen venue easily, is the venue easily accessible.

Food

The food you serve can significantly elevate the experience. Our expert caterers can create delicious and sustainable dishes catering to various dietary requirements. Whether you opt for a set two or three-course menu or a unique private event menu, we'll work with you to design the perfect culinary experience.

Entertainment

If you're looking for fantastic entertainment options, our shared parties are the way to go. Experience our 'Diamonds are Forever' themed parties, featuring casino tables, DJs, and delightful surprises. For a more customized event, our beautiful suites provide a blank canvas to bring your dreams to life.

Choosing a venue

The venue you choose should be as memorable as the event itself. Why not opt for the home of Horse Racing, Newmarket Racecourses? With its understated sophistication and charm, it has earned the love of well-known corporations, celebrities, and even the Royal Family! This year we are offering both 'Diamonds are Forever' shared parties and a selection of stunning suites perfect for private parties of over 100 guests.
