A champagne bar is among the new features at the UK's most iconic horseracing venue after a multi-million pound upgrade.

Newmarket's July Course has undergone a period of modernisation to provide better facilities for both jockeys and spectators. 

The new facilities include a champagne bar and viewing terrace in order to enhance its spectator offering, as well an al-fresco dining experience.

The Weighing room has also been given a makeover, with a new changing room among the additions. 

James Davies, chief executive Officer of The Wigley Group, which was appointed by The Jockey Club to carry out the work, said: “It’s been great to work with The Jockey Club to bring their vision for such an iconic venue to life.

“This has been a really exciting project to work on which not only enhances the spectator offering and provides high-quality facilities for all sports professionals, but also delivers sustainability improvements with the installation of solar panels and low energy lighting throughout.”
