Arena Racing Company (ARC) is planning a multimillion pound redevelopment scheme for High Gosforth Park and Newcastle Racecourse, which sits within the park.
Following on from previous development work, which included enhanced racing facilities, the new improvements will include a 3,500m sq events centre, alongside significant refurbishment of the public and hospitality areas, as well as the racing staff accommodation.
The plans for High Gosforth Park also include the development of high quality residential accommodation, along with refurbishment to the listed Brandling House and the associated public space to fit in with the heritage of the site.
David Williamson, Executive Director of Newcastle Racecourse, said, “Our plans will complete the transformation of Newcastle Racecourse into a world class sporting venue. The development of the racecourse and the wider High Gosforth Park Estate will provide a significant boost to Newcastle’s local economy and help create a number of jobs.
“These plans will completely transform the customer experience here at Newcastle, with brand new facilities for racegoers including bars, restaurants and hospitality suites alongside significant upgrades for owners and trainers as well as the accommodation for racing staff.
'We very much look forward to hearing people’s views on the plans, and welcome feedback at the exhibition on 31 August. We look forward to introducing the public to our plans and hearing their views.”
