Sandown Park Racecourse

For the second year in a row, Sandown Park has received recognition for exhibition excellence in winning the accolade ‘Best Venue Under 4,000sqm’ in one of the event industry’s most respected awards ceremonies, the eighth annual Exhibition News Awards, on Thursday 3rd April 2014.

Hosted by Exhibition News magazine at ExCeL London, Sandown Park was up against tough competition including Old Spitalfields Market and Chelsea Football Club. The winning entry provided evidence detailing how the venue improved its capabilities throughout the last year and how its dedicated events team goes above and beyond to support exhibition organisers and enhance the visitor experience.

Widely renowned as a quality leisure destination for avid horse racing fans, Sandown Park has over recent years cultivated an outstanding reputation with exhibition and event organisers looking for a versatile and accessible venue in the South. The picturesque venue gained an impressive array of new events in 2013, including The Renewables Roadshow, The Fish Frying and Fast Food Show, Punch Taverns Roadshow and Bride: The Wedding Show.

Rupert Trevelyan, The Jockey Club Regional Director - London, said:

“I would like to congratulate the whole of the Sandown Park Events Team for winning this award. We are delighted to receive the accolade and it is great recognition for Sandown Park and the Jockey Club’s London Region as a whole. It highlights that we do not only host great horse racing events but that we have the capability to hold an outstanding range of exhibitions throughout the year, as well as countless corporate and private events.”
