Executive Director - Carrie Gillam " I recently started with Uttoxeter Racecourse as Executive Director and it's been an exciting first 3 months. Having started my professional career in horse racing at Bath Racecourse, Uttoxeter has always been a special place for me as I witnessed my first live horse racing event here many years ago and to have the opportunity to join the team and become part of its story has been wonderful.
2026 is not slowing down with the launch of our Big Days Out promotion, more racing, family fun days, music nights, Ladies & Gents Day, Beer Festival, Christmas Parties and the grand finale of New Years Eve. In between, we have a number of public events, including Motor sport, dog shows, outdoor theatre, entertainment evenings, conferences and events. Never a dull moment.
The whole team here at Uttoxeter do an amazing job and have been incredibly welcoming and supportive, something I see daily when they greet our guests. We look forward to hopefully welcoming you to Uttoxeter Racecourse soon for a great day out."
