We run these type of events once or twice a year and it's fair to say this was the best one yet! The cost of an event and having the engineers off tools for a day is a financial cost and we have to get it right from an engagement perspective, you really helped in making sure that investment was worthwhile. There really were no negatives at all about the venue, catering and all the staff who helped make it a great day. Ryan Ackroyd - October 2024

British Gas

It was a great experience from start to finish, both from Sarah at Wetherby and from the caterers, nothing was too much trouble. It was really reassuring that how the event was going was checked with us throughout the day of the event and it exceeded my expectations. Thank you! Becky Slater, April 2024

Alfred Bagnall and Sons Ltd

Thank you for providing a fabulous venue for our Away Day. We have collated really good feedback about the atmosphere, the view, the room and of course the refreshments and lunch. I was really pleased with the attention to detail, and the help and support you provided at the start and during the day. We will, and have recommended the venue - and certainly for our team if we need to have such an event again we wouldn’t hesitate to use you.

Sarah and the team were fantastic. It's not easy to cook for over 300 people, our meal was superb and every table was looked after brilliantly. As with other events the entire team at Wetherby Racecourse were excellent, looking forward to the next event!! December 2019

Simon Williams – Wetherby RUFC ‘An Evening With’ Dinner

Claire Balch – SMMT Roadshow

Feedback from our delegates is excellent. Thank you for your attention to detail, much appreciated. October 2019

Veronica Wilkinson – Chartered Insurance Institute (NERG) Seminar

This was an excellent venue to work with, everything ran smoothly, I was contacted prior to the event and nothing was to much trouble to arrange, changes or numbers. The staff on the day were very polite and efficient. October 2019

Ray Howard – Makita UK Ltd Roadshow

The Bramham Hall worked really well for our 300 delegates and using the ceiling television screens to project our presentation throughout the room helped no end. The serving of refreshments and food worked really well. I timed and it took 300 people 11 minutes to all have a drink which enabled us to stay on schedule throughout the day. Lunch worked really well and everyone got through the buffet quick and efficiently.
