Civil Licence
& Weddings
We now have 2 licences for wedding
ceremonies and civil partnerships. You
can now have your special ceremony
within the Grandstand or the Owners
and Trainers Lounge.
From our first meeting with Tracey to the big day
everything was really well organised.
Leicester Racecourse was the perfect venue for us.
Friendly, helpful staff and nothing was too much
trouble.
The venue had space for all our guests both at the
reception as well as the ceremony with good food
and service.
We had such a wonderful day we want to get
divorced and do it all over again!
