Did you know that Newbury racecourse is a 15 minute walk away from The Coat and Bear, but not only that, the racecourse is the home to over 31 race days a year, plus evening concerts during the summer months?

If you can drag yourself away from the charming market town full of popular shops and eateries, the race course is a hive of entertainment. Whether you head on down to back a winner (or two) at one of the planned race meets, or plan to tap your toes at one of the summer concerts, there really is something for everyone this summer in Newbury.

Enjoy live music after the races this summer, starting with pop stars Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Ella Henderson on Saturday 19th July. If Clean Bandit is more your style, catch them on Saturday 16th August. Bjorn Again will perform on Friday 15th August, followed by the smooth sounds of James Bay after racing on Saturday 20th September.

Whether you plan to come on down to win big, or dance the night away, you are going to need somewhere to rest following your day of excitement! If you’re looking for a place to stay, simply add SLEEP when you book at room with us at The Coat & Bear to enjoy a crisp glass of prosecco on arrival, dinner, bed and breakfast for only £80pp (based on 2 people sharing).

What are you waiting for? Don’t be left ‘Crying at Discotheque’ and book your room before it’s too late. This offer won’t be around for long!
