The Premier South West Outdoor Event Space

Scale & Logistics
A blank canvas within an established infrastructure
Taunton Racecourse offers event promoters a true blank canvas opportunity within a highly accessible, established infrastructure. Situated in the heart of Somerset, we provide the space required for large-scale production without the typical constraints of greenfield sites.
The flat, well-drained terrain gives clear separation potential for Main Stage, Camping and Backstage Production zones - so your event flows exactly the way you design it, whether that's a boutique folk festival, a high-octane electronic event or a heritage rock concert.

Customisable layout
A site that adapts to your flow
Whether you are planning a boutique folk festival, a high-octane electronic event or a heritage rock concert, the site adapts to your flow rather than forcing your event into a fixed footprint.
The flat, well-drained terrain gives clear separation between Main Stage, Camping and Backstage Production zones - giving your production and safety teams the room they need to build something memorable.
Production support
Our team understands the requirements of professional promoters - and works alongside yours from first site visit to final build-out.

Authority & SAG liaison
Direct liaison with local authorities and Safety Advisory Groups (SAG) to keep your event plan moving through approvals.
-
Security & traffic
On-site security and traffic management consultancy, drawing on years of moving large crowds safely on and off the site.
-
Flexible hire periods
Flexible venue hire periods built around your build-ins and build-outs, not a rigid single-day rental window.

24-hour site access
Full 24-hour site access during production windows, so your crew can work to the schedule the show demands.
