Horse racing is always a fantastic day out for any stag weekend and as race courses go they don’t get much better than York. The North’s premier race course offers groups a great summer stag activity with some of the countries best racing and a chance to win some spending money for the rest of your stag weekend.

With just six Saturday meetings throughout the year the races are always hugely popular and in great demand. Staying in York for the full horse racing stag weekend is always people’s first thought but is much harder than most might think. Unfortunately because the races are always so popular accommodation in York always sells out well in advance and the rates charged by the hotels are usually triple that of the standard rate.

The best way around this is to base yourselves outside of York and our recommendations for the best stag weekend locations are always Harrogate or Leeds. Both will offer groups a fantastic evening out, we can arrange private transfers to and from the races with entry tickets meaning you and the guys will still get the fantastic York race experience for your stag weekend but the value for money is much better.

Superb horse racing stag weekend packages are available in both, why not check out our fantastic Leeds stag weekend packages or Harrogate stag weekend packages here, alternatively let us know exactly what you want by creating a bespoke stag weekend package online now.
