Arena Racing Company (“ARC”) has today revealed plans for a multimillion pound redevelopment scheme for High Gosforth Park and Newcastle Racecourse.

Following on from the success of previous development work, which included the installation of the Tapeta surface and enhanced racing facilities, ARC anticipate submitting plans for the next stage of development of the High Gosforth Estate to Newcastle City Council in Autumn 2018.

The proposals will further boost the international prestige of the racecourse, create new jobs in hospitality, tourism and construction, and draw thousands of visitors and their spending into the City.

Improvements across the racecourse estate will include a c3,500m2 events centre, alongside significant refurbishment of the public and hospitality areas as well as the racing staff accommodation.
