The Shropshire hills beyond the rails at Ludlow racecourse
The Other 350 Days

One venue. Every occasion.

On the days we're not racing, the Old Field is yours — the largest function room in Shropshire, a marquee built for celebrations, suites with views of the hills, and a team who have hosted everything from five hundred delegates to a quiet farewell.

What We Host

Four kinds of occasion.

Weddings

Say it on the Old Field.

The Clive Pavilion's 7,000 square feet for the big party, the Plymouth Stand across two floors, or the heated, fully lined Windsor Marquee with dance floor and stocked bar — yours the day before to decorate, with hog roasts on the lawn welcome and the Shropshire hills as your backdrop.

  • Capacity — up to 500 for dinner in the Clive Pavilion; 300–500 in the Windsor Marquee
  • Included — tables, chairs, stocked bar with staff, free guest parking, security
  • Catering — wedding breakfast menus by Plyvine (see sample menus below)
  • Showrounds — welcome any time — just ask

The Spaces

Pick your room with a view.

Every space comes with free parking for your guests, level access, and the run of the lawns. Mix and match — many events take a room for the day and the marquee for the evening.

The largest function room in Shropshire — two bars, a full kitchen, and lawns outside for a hog roast or barbecue.

The Windsor Marquee

300–500 · dance floor

Heated and fully lined with tables, chairs, a stocked bar with staff, guest parking and security — and it's yours the day before to decorate.

The Plymouth Stand

Two floors · lift access

The newest building on the course — hire a floor or both, with balconies over the home straight.

Breakout & Boxes

Six rooms · 10–80 each

Six smaller rooms and private boxes for board meetings, interviews, green rooms or the quiet corner a big day needs.
