Doncaster Racecourse is the most historically significant racetrack in England, home of the St Leger Stakes — the oldest classic horse race in the world, run without interruption since 1776. The September meeting is the main event, with the St Leger itself the culmination, but racing at Doncaster runs from March to November.
The modern racecourse has good stands and facilities, and a day at the Leger meeting is a genuine social event for the whole region. Tickets range from affordable enclosure admission to grandstand packages. The racecourse is about two miles from the town centre; a shuttle bus runs on race days. Even if you have no interest in racing, the atmosphere during a big meeting is worth experiencing.
