Cusworth Private Chalet

Club 1776 Marquee

Introduction

The Cusworth Private Chalets are situated in the Club 1776 Marquee, Cusworth being a historic Doncaster village. The St. Leger is the world’s oldest classic horse race, named after Anthony St Leger, who devised the race in 1776; it is the last of the five English classic races and the longest at 1 mile and 6 furlongs. The Cusworth Private Chalets provide companies with the opportunity to have a private branded facility.

The Cusworth Private Chalets (within Club 1776 Marquee) are situated close to the rails in the centre of the course, opposite the Lazarus (Main) Stand. They are ideally located close to the Winning Post, with views of the finishing straight.

The chalets are private sections of a large marquee, with dining on round tables and a private bar facility. There are floor-to-ceiling windows providing an abundance of natural light. There is a raised viewing terrace directly in front and some garden furniture on the lawns should the weather be kind.

VERDICT

This package provides excellent value for money for a fully inclusive package. The location is good, but the viewing is not as good as the private boxes in the Lazarus & Leger Stands.
