Doncaster, located in South Yorkshire, is a historic market town with a rich heritage, known for its horse racing, industrial history, and growing business sector—now undergoing transformation.
With investments revitalising the city, Doncaster is becoming a destination of choice for forward-thinking enterprises, including artificial intelligence (AI) companies seeking a dynamic and well-connected base on track to become one of the UK Government’s AI Growth Zones.
As part of this rejuvenation, Doncaster Racecourse, part of the YourVenue portfolio of 16 UK-wide racecourse venues belonging to Arena Racing Company (ARC), continues to play a pivotal role in the city’s evolution.
Angela Colley-Francis, national account manager at Arena Racing Company said: “The Racecourse has long been a flagship venue, and as the city evolves, we are excited to provide a space that brings together business leaders, innovators, and event professionals to shape the future. Doncaster is on the rise, attracting investment, talent, and cutting-edge industries, including AI.”
Additionally, Doncaster is set to open Doncaster Sheffield Airport in 2026, boosting the region’s logistics, connectivity, and economic growth.
More than half a billion pounds (£500m) will also be invested in capital projects by 2028, with a focus on key areas such as Doncaster Station Gateway.
From April, event planners can take advantage of the Step Into Summer Day Delegate Rate and bespoke summer party packages, designed to incorporate well-being and outdoor activities into meetings.
