The Grace Grandstand at Towcester Racecourse was completed in 1997 at a cost of £1.3M. It was seen as part of the Racecourse’s drive to attract a clientele beyond racing, being planned for conference and social uses. It has a Members’ Bar and a first class restaurant overlooking the Course. There are six hospitality boxes on the top floor with a continuous gallery with a view of the Racecourse.
