Corporate Race Night

Bring the buzz of the racecourse into your chosen venue, without anyone needing to study form for a living. Corporate Race Night gives your team racecards, runners to back, screens to watch and a room that quickly learns how loudly it can cheer at a virtual horse.

We dress the space with racing touches, set up the viewing and betting areas, and keep the evening moving with a professional host who knows when to explain, when to build the tension and when to let the room do the shouting. Guests pick their horses, place fun wagers, compare hunches and celebrate the results together, race by race.

It works neatly as after-dinner entertainment, a company social, a conference evening or part of a wider team day. The format is easy to follow, sociable from the off and gently competitive without making anyone perform. Your team turns up, gets a racecard in hand, and starts picking winners.

Event Summary.

You get the noise and fun of the races without sending anyone outside, so it works brilliantly as an indoor or evening activity for all group sizes. We host it properly, bring quality audio visual content and keep the night moving, so your team can settle in and enjoy a virtual horse racing experience that feels slick without being stiff. Virtual racing uses advanced graphics and random number generators to decide race results, giving you a realistic, easy to follow set-up.

Each race brings dynamic visuals, commentary and a bit of competitive needle as teams place fun bets and track their wins through the evening. Guests can choose different bet types, including a ‘win’ bet, where they pick the horse they think will finish first, or a ‘forecast’ bet, where they predict the top finishers in order. Knowing the odds and the number assigned to each horse can help shape a betting strategy and add to the fun. Virtual horse racing cards give everyone what they need to get stuck in, pick runners and plot bets with colleagues. Races run every few minutes, so there’s always another chance to join in and back a winner.

A horse racing night suits team celebrations, company socials, networking evenings, charity fundraising and incentives. If your group loves a bit of competition, great. If they just want light hearted entertainment, that works too. Either way, the room gets talking.

If you’d like a hand finding the right place for your event, use our venue search tool to explore a range of suitable spaces.

It’s also a cracking choice for teams who want something less active. It fits neatly with other options such as indoor team building events, and we can work it into bespoke themed events if you’ve got a particular tone in mind for the evening.

Fully hosted and customisable race night packages

Every virtual horse racing corporate event is run by an experienced host who keeps guests involved and the evening on track. Race sequences, pacing, intermissions and prize presentations can all be shaped around your event schedule. Teams get virtual horse racing racecards, so they can size up the runners, place fun bets and enjoy the atmosphere as each race unfolds. Each race is shown on large screens or displays, bringing that racecourse buzz into the room.

Custom packages are available, and we can include special offers or enhancements to shape the experience around your company’s needs.

How does a virtual horse racing corporate night work?

Our hosts guide your guests through each race, keep the energy up and make sure the whole thing runs as it should. We can set up the event space to feel like a sportsbook, with dedicated areas for watching the races on screens and placing bets, so the betting atmosphere feels the part.

The evening usually includes several virtual horse racing game rounds. Popular virtual racecourses such as Portman Park may be featured, with guests making fun wagers, choosing their horses and cheering as the results come in. People chat, plot their picks and celebrate wins together, so the team spirit comes through naturally.

What event leads tell us

Proof from teams who've actually run one.

We have used NewWave Events a couple of times at Kohler. Though we had different event hosts each time both crews were superb, steering the atmosphere and activities with expertise that sets them apart. The activities and equipment were well designed and really helped us improve communications and relationships within our team whilst having fun. Thank you!
