Exciting Developments at Stableside – Work Begins on 29 New Bedrooms!

Exciting things are happening at Stableside at York Racecourse, as work officially gets underway on an exciting new accommodation development.

The project will see 29 brand-new en-suite bedrooms added to the site, alongside new recreational space, creating even more opportunities to welcome guests, school groups and visitors to York.

An exciting step forward for Stableside

The development follows recently secured planning permission and marks an important milestone in the future of Stableside.

Gavin Pattison, Facilities Manager at York Racecourse, said:

"We have reached an important milestone in our plans for the racecourse, with planning permission recently secured for our Stableside accommodation extension.

Working with local architects Dawson Williamson, the project will create 29 additional en-suite bedrooms linked to the existing building. It will strengthen what we can offer racing staff, while also giving us more flexibility to welcome school groups, organised stays and weekend visitors coming to enjoy the city."

What's happening at Stableside?

As the development progresses, there will be a few temporary changes around the site:

  • 29 new bedrooms: Construction is now underway on our new accommodation extension.
  • Temporary café closure: Our café is currently closed while development work takes place. We look forward to welcoming guests back when it reopens.
  • Additional car parking: Extra parking has been made available in the top field to accommodate visitors.
  • Pedestrian access: Clearly marked walkways are in place around the building to ensure safe access for all guests and visitors.

Business as usual at Stableside

Despite the work taking place, it's very much business as usual at Stableside!

Our existing accommodation remains fully open and operational, and we continue to welcome guests, school groups and visitors as normal.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while these improvements are underway. This investment will help us enhance our facilities and provide even more opportunities for visitors to enjoy everything Stableside and York have to offer.

We're looking forward to sharing further updates as the project progresses.
