Sponsorship & Advertising

The perfect marketing platform

Sponsorship is widely recognised as a unique but very effective and prestigious method of promoting a product or service. Media coverage combined with on-course branding, PR and extensive advertising and promotional opportunities come together to provide an innovative while exciting way to promote your company or brand.

Long proven as an effective and enjoyable method of promotion, Sponsorship will highlight your day and put an edge on your event. Indeed, horse racing is one of the few sports that appeal to both men and women young and old. After football horse racing is the highest viewed sport and the only one to have its own dedicated newspaper, The Racing Post. Through this means, satellite tv, terrestrial tv and not forgetting the attending crowd, you will be exposing your product to in excess of 3.2 million people.

Sponsorship is also becoming increasingly popular as an exciting added dimension to a birthday, anniversary or general celebration.

There’s nothing more thrilling than seeing your name in print in the morning paper and presenting the prize and enjoying a glass of bubbly with the winning owner of your very own race! And we’d put odds on that it’s cheaper than you would expect!

As Scotland’s Premier Racecourse, we have a wide range of Sponsorship opportunities available to suit all budgets and marketing/publicity requirements.
