Henlow Stadium, Greyhound racing stadium in Henlow, Bedfordshire, England.
Henlow Stadium was a greyhound racing venue in Bedfordshire featuring an oval track, catering facilities, multiple bars, and seating for around 1000 spectators. The site offered everything needed for race days, from viewing areas to food and drink services.
The venue began operating in August 1927 using an early towing system where a truck wheel pulled a lure around the track. This pioneering method made it one of the first facilities of its kind in the country.
Every race day brought together local residents, racing enthusiasts, and professional trainers who gathered to participate in greyhound racing events.
The grounds were easily accessible on foot with clear signage from the street and good parking available for visitors. Early arrival on race days was advisable as the venue could fill up quickly.
Rio Quattro achieved the largest prize money win in greyhound racing history at this venue in 2015, taking home a total of 250,000 pounds. This record remained a notable achievement for racing enthusiasts for years.
