VIP Behind the Scenes Stables Experience

Horse racing hospitality 2024: VIP behind-the-scenes stables and race meet experience

World-beating race horses aren’t just born, they’re carefully developed at the UK’s network of high-end stables by a team of expert trainers. This hidden world is usually off-limits to the public, but Gala’s horse racing corporate hospitality can bring you behind the scenes, inviting you into the heart of a leading British horse racing stables and revealing what it really takes to create a champion.    

Horse racing hospitality that’s first past the post

If your clients, friends and colleagues are fans of the turf, you might already have heard about our horse racing hospitality packages. But for something a little different – and more intimate – this VIP behind-the-scenes stables experience is the one. Choose the location that suits you and your day will begin with an expert-led introduction to racehorse training, followed by a personal tour of the facilities. You’ll discover the day-to-day duties, learn how horses are brought up to pro standards, meet the race-winners themselves – and enjoy photo opportunities at every turn.

By lunchtime, you’ll be ready to tuck into a delicious meal at the local hotel, pub or restaurant of your choice – where your trainer from that morning will join you along, with the high-profile jockey of your choice. After gleaning all that knowledge, you’ll no doubt want to see the results – so as an optional extra, our horse racing hospitality can arrange for your chosen trainer and jockey to accompany you to a major race meet, taking you behind the scenes to soak up the atmosphere and meet the owners.
