Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum number of people required to book meeting spaces at Epsom Downs Racecourse?
All meeting spaces require a minimum of 30 people to book. This applies to all conference and meeting room bookings at the venue.
What is the minimum number of people required for banqueting bookings?
Banqueting bookings require a minimum of 50 people. This is separate from the meeting space minimum and applies specifically to dining events.
What are the Day Delegate Rate packages and pricing?
Day Delegate Rate packages start from £53 per person plus VAT. The Classic DDR Package at £53+VAT includes main suite hire, arrival tea/coffee with pastries and fruit, mid-morning refreshments, finger buffet lunch, afternoon tea/coffee, water, projector/screen, flipchart, Wi-Fi, parking, and dedicated event manager.
Can I bring my own external catering to the venue?
The venue does not normally allow external catering to be brought on site. However, they work with preferred contracted caterers who can provide catering services, and you must use one of these approved partners rather than sourcing completely independent catering.
Do you offer dry hire options for events?
No, Epsom Downs Racecourse does not sell on a pure dry hire basis. All bookings must include catering services, either through their in-house catering or approved contracted catering partners.
What are the capacity limitations for large events?
The venue cannot accommodate very large events requiring 700 guests with 500 seated, as their kitchen facilities in the largest halls cannot service these numbers in seated capacity. The Diomed suite can hold up to 500 people in theatre style layout.
What spaces are available and their capacities?
Available spaces include the Diomed suite (up to 500 people theatre style), Oaks Hall (suitable for smaller groups like 50 stalls), and various other meeting rooms. The venue offers spaces with capacities ranging from smaller meeting rooms to large halls.
What are the contact details and working days for the sales team?
The National Sales Manager works Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and can be reached at +44 (0) 1372461218. The Conference & Events Sales Executive can be contacted at +44 (0) 1372463072 for bookings and enquiries.
