ARC becomes first racecourse group to partner with The Delegate Wranglers

Arena Racing Company (ARC) has become the first racecourse group to partner with The Delegate Wranglers, reflecting the rising demand in the events industry for non-traditional, experience-led venues that deliver both value and impact.

Through a sustained year-long programme of content, events and industry engagement throughout 2026, the partnership will spotlight six ARC racecourses – Doncaster Racecourse, Newcastle Racecourse, Uttoxeter Racecourse, Royal Windsor Racecourse, Bath Racecourse and Lingfield Racecourse. These venues form part of YourVenue, the conference and events arm of ARC, which represents a nationwide portfolio of 16 UK racecourses offering distinctive, large-scale and outdoor spaces for summer parties, teambuilding, conferences, exhibitions, meetings, and hospitality experiences.

The activity will ensure ARC venues remain front of mind for organisers seeking accessible and high-capacity spaces outside London.

Angela Colley-Francis, National Account Manager of ARC, said: “Racecourses offer something genuinely different for event organisers – expansive spaces, fresh air, easy access and the chance to create experiences you simply can’t replicate elsewhere. Becoming the first racecourse group to partner with The Delegate Wranglers gives us a powerful platform to consistently connect with planners who are actively looking for something new. This year-long programme keeps our destinations visible, relevant and part of the conversation all year round.”

Neil Thompson, Founder of The Delegate Wranglers, added: “Their venues deliver the distinctive, experience-led environments our community is increasingly seeking – memorable spaces with expansive outdoor settings that support wellbeing, alongside the opportunity to incorporate high-impact hospitality experiences. This partnership gives thousands of planners greater visibility of what these venues can offer and expands the range of quality options available to the market.”
