Nottingham Greyhound Stadium

Nottingham Greyhound Stadium is a racing facility located in Colwick Park, designed to accommodate spectators and provide dining options throughout the venue. The complex features viewing stands, multiple bars, a restaurant, and a snack bar serving visitors during racing events.

The venue plays a role in local leisure culture where visitors gather to watch racing unfold. The stands and social spaces create a communal setting where people come together for this traditional British pastime.

Racing events take place on Monday and Friday evenings, with additional morning meetings scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. Visitors should check specific timings in advance and prepare for variable weather conditions.

The venue was selected as the new home for one of the most significant annual racing events in the industry, reflecting its reputation for hosting major competitions. This prominence established it as a central hub for British greyhound racing.
