  • Peaceful park with easy access to Stratford-upon-Avon
  • Within the race course for easy access to races and events
  • Several pubs within a mile and a half
Located on the western fringes of Stratford-upon-Avon, Stratford Racecourse Touring Park is a place with spacious and level pitches that are equally well placed for easy race day access or some time wandering around Warwickshire. Close to the banks of the Avon and set in Shakespearean countryside, Stratford Racecourse Touring Park is only 20 minutes' gentle walk from the thespian tours and treats of central Stratford-upon-Avon. And, with a name like Stratford Racecourse Touring Park, it's a sure bet you'll be near the geegees too. In fact, equine aficionados, you'll be pitched in the racecourse itself, with plenty of surrounding space in the centre for small racers to let off steam – and you'll get free race-meeting tickets tacked onto your pitch price if you book for two days, one of which is a race day. (Plenty of other events accumulate at the racecourse too year-round such as a motorhome show and a beer and cider festival: you may well wish to pitch up for a lengthy sojourn.) Amenities include a modern loo and shower block, a launderette, Calor gas sales, washing-up facilities and water points; for feed, trot to one of the several on-form pubs within a mile and a half.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Easy to book online. Adjacent to dog walking fields. Level access and pitches. Didnt use the facilities.

Disliked Having to specify an arrival time and then being chased by phone as we hadnt arrived in our time window!
Despite having nearly an empty field, 3 campervans pitched up near our pitch. They were set up closely in a square and certainly not 5m apart, together with a gazebo. They were noisy until midnight.
The water taps were not working in the far corner of the field.

From the manager: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay didn’t fully meet expectations.

To clarify, we ask for arrival times so that a member of staff can be available to welcome guests personally. You advised 1–3pm and our call log shows a courtesy call was made at 4:30pm when you hadn’t yet arrived or called to let us know you were running late, these calls are simply to ensure everything was okay.

Regarding spacing, all of our team are trained in our policies and we can confirm the 6-metre rule was followed. We appreciate that the arrangement of other units nearby may have felt closer, but we do ensure safety standards are met.

We ask that all noise is reduced after 10pm with a noise abatement at midnight, this is inline with racecourse policy. We regret that you were disturbed, and had this been raised at the time, we would have addressed it promptly. The same applies to the water tap in the field — we do ask our guests to inform us of any issues that arise so we can deal with them promptly at the time.

I hope it wasn’t to much of an inconvenience being further away from the car boot field than you anticipated.

We do value your comments and will continue to review how we can improve guest experience.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Nice walk into Stratford upon avon 40mins, large field and told i could pitch anywhere, very nice.

Disliked As other people commented, very frustrated with the toilets, sorry but dirty, run down only 1 shower in the mens and after waiting to use the shower was cold. No toilet brush in the toilet cubicle, waste all over the basin. And sorry but finally says dog's on leads at all times, it never happened and definitely no checks as dog's running loose all day. Very sorry but I was let down by what could be a brilliant site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. I am sorry you felt let down by our facilities, this is not usually the case, i will follow up on this. On arrival it was pointed out to you the limited shower facilities in that building and that there were more facilities on the touring park itself which you were entitled to use.

Local attractions

It's less than a mile from Stratford Racecourse Touring Park to the cottage of one fairly famous Miss Hathaway, and a 20-minute meander on a direct path along the greenway and the Avon bank to reach the shops, pubs, restaurants and Shakespearean sights of Stratford. Stratford-upon-Avon is of course the place for Shakespearean scholars the world over. Spend a couple of days around the main Shakespeare attractions in town – Shakespeare’s Birthplace, Shakespeare's Grave, Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, Hall's Croft, Mary Arden's Farm, Nash's House and New Place – and then catch a show at either/both of the RSC's theatres, the Royal Shakespeare and the Swan. The charity Shakespeare's Birthplace Trust keeps books, manuscripts and other interesting Shakespeare items in its Shakespeare and local collections. Also in Stratford, try to take a flutter at Butterfly World, Europe’s biggest butterfly collection, and check out nightly ghost tours at independent museum Tudor World. Those who fancy undramatic countryside walks can tackle part of the 146-mile Shakespeare's Way from Stratford to London's Globe Theatre via Oxford, the Cotswolds, Blenheim Park, the Grand Union Canal Walk and the Thames Path. More flutters can be had at the year-round meets of Warwick Racecourse less than ten miles from Stratford, and take time too to see the topping castles in the region: Warwick Castle, filled with family fun and events all year round, and Kenilworth Castle, described by an eminent historian as 'the finest surviving example of a semi-royal palace of the later middle ages'. More history? Try National Trust houses like Charlecote Park, the award-winning blacksmith’s workshop Chedham’s Yard, or getting envious among the vintage cars and motorbikes of Gaydon's Heritage Motor Centre. More horses? Get to Redwings Horse Sanctuary at Oxhill 10 miles south of Stratford to see over 90 horsey inhabitants on a free walk and talk tour.
