Racecourse rides in with joint venture
Nottingham Racecourse has entered a joint venture with the city council to promote the site.
Nottingham City Council is to help promote the space at the centre of the course for events including music festivals and community gatherings.
Councillor David Trimble, portfolio holder for leisure, culture and tourism at Nottingham City Council, said: "The partnership with the racecourse is an exciting opportunity to bring to life the often unused field in the centre of the racecourse.
"It is hoped that the space will provide a unique and versatile venue that will be ideal for hosting a range of new and exciting events such as concerts, trade shows and fairs.
"One of the main advantages of using a racecourse is the large amount of outdoor and indoor space available with free onsite car parking. The onsite caterers are used to dealing with the logistics of a large amount of guests and they have a strong network of banqueting staff to call on."
The course is located two miles from the city centre within 280 acres of Colwick Park.
