[edit] History
The course was first established in 1866 when the 91 acre site was purchased. The main grandstand was built in 1969 and opened by the Queen Mother, while the corporate facilities were opened in 1990. Newton Abbot is a unique track in the UK as there are clear views of the entire course.[citation needed]
[edit] Corporate hospitality
The racecourse has a variety of corporate meeting, conference rooms, suites and private boxes as well as cafeterias and bars, and two restaurants: ‘The Winning Post’ and ‘The Paddock’. Many of the rooms have views across the racecourse, whilst there is parking in and around the venue for 5,000 cars.
[edit] Other events at the racecourse
The racecourse holds monthly car boot sales and regular antiques fairs. Ladies Day is held in June and there are a series of evening races.
