St Leger Festival

Leading Edge Hospitality is a leading supplier of corporate hospitality at the Doncaster St Leger Festival which takes place between Wednesday 7th and Saturday 10th September 2011.

Wednesday 8th September - St Leger Festival Opening Day

Thursday 9th September - DFS Ladies Day

Friday 10th September - DFS Doncaster Cup Day

Saturday 11th September - Ladbrokes St Leger Day

The Ladbrokes St Leger Festival is undeniably the jewel in the crown of Doncaster's racing fixture list, culminating at the end of the week in the iconic St Leger Stakes, a Classic race that has taken place at the course since 1776.

Following a multi-million pound development, completed in 2007, Doncaster Racecourse now skilfully blends the traditional with the contemporary as the facilities host some of the most celebrated fixtures in British racing history.

Top class sport and a great programme of entertainment throughout the four days have established the St Leger Festival as a definite highlight in Yorkshire's annual social calendar. Wednesday 8th, the opening day of the Festival offers a great day to watch first class racing and enjoy your hospitality in a more relaxed atmosphere. If you prefer the excitement, glamour and the spectacle of the ladies dressing to impress then Ladies' Day on Thursday 9th will suit you. A brilliant race card is lined up for Friday 10th, with some of the highest quality racing of the week, and of course the tradition and heritage of the St Leger itself on Saturday 11th can't be beaten.

Enjoy one of Flat racing's greatest festivals in the comfort and luxury of one of the 39 stylish hospitality suites or dine in the impressive Lincoln Restaurant or Conduit Restaurant, both of which offer panoramic views over the spectacular Town Moor course.
