Towcester Greyhound Stadium, Greyhound racing stadium at Towcester Racecourse, England.
Towcester Greyhound Stadium is a racing venue in England built specifically for greyhound racing. The track measures 420 meters around its circumference and was constructed with 60,000 tonnes of soil, creating a six-meter elevation where the racing surface meets the horse track below.
The venue opened on December 6, 2014, marking the first greyhound racing stadium to be built in Britain since 1995. This opening represented a significant return for the sport after a long gap in new venue development.
The venue hosts one of Britain's most celebrated racing events and has become a focal point for fans who follow greyhound sport. Visitors come to watch the speed and competition, experiencing a tradition that remains part of the country's sporting culture.
The venue offers different entry options ranging from standard access to premium packages with table service. It's helpful to check ahead about what dates have racing events, as the schedule varies throughout the year.
The track features notably wide bends that allow eight dogs to race simultaneously rather than the standard six. This design choice creates a different racing experience compared to most other greyhound venues.
