PROJECT: WEIGHING ROOM & FACILITIES REFURBISHMENT

Project Value: £500,000

We successfully delivered a major refurbishment and fit-out project at Great Yarmouth Racecourse, focused on upgrading the jockey and operational facilities alongside key hospitality areas across the venue.

This project formed part of the racecourse’s wider investment programme aimed at modernising essential spaces used by jockeys, race officials, staff, and visitors. The client required a high-quality refurbishment solution that would improve functionality, comfort and presentation while ensuring the venue remained operational throughout the works.

Our team delivered a comprehensive transformation across multiple areas of the racecourse, creating modern, durable, and efficient facilities designed to support the demands of busy race days and event operations.

PROJECT SCOPE

The refurbishment works included a full upgrade of jockey welfare, operational, and hospitality areas throughout the venue. Our scope included:
  • Complete weighing room fit-out
  • Refurbishment of the stewards’ room
  • Upgrades to male and female changing rooms
  • Full refurbishment of shower rooms and toilet facilities
  • Improvements to the valet area
  • Modernisation of the jockeys’ lounge
  • Medical and physio room refurbishment
  • Dedicated warm-up room upgrades
  • Full plumbing system improvements

  • CCTV installation and security upgrades
  • Fire alarm system upgrades
  • New signage throughout the facility
  • Installation of new suspended ceiling systems
  • Refurbishment and facelift works to bars within Grandstand 1 & Grandstand 2
The project was delivered within a carefully managed programme to minimise disruption to race fixtures and ensure all operational deadlines were achieved.
