Take advantage of race sponsorship and enjoy the privilege of naming a race, which guarantees your business is displayed prominently in the racecard as well as stadium-wide announcements.
Group Curry Club with Racing, Food and Live Music
One of Owlerton’s most popular offerings for groups is the Curry Club. For a fixed price, your group gets admission, a racecard, poppadums with dips and salad, a traditional chicken curry (or veggie option), sides (rice, naan, fries), and a drink. After the racing, get your groove on with live music that keeps the evening flowing, with performances from great local acts. Curry Club is particularly well suited for groups; it wraps up a meal, racing and entertainment into one evening.
Do Groups have to Book at Owlerton Stadium?
You can pre-book, but you don’t always need to. Owlerton offers General Admission on race nights, providing access to the Panorama Bar, paddock bar and a racecard, ideal for spontaneous group plans. Even without a full package, your group can enjoy the atmosphere, grab refreshments with food available at the snack bar, place bets and watch the greyhound racing close-up.
Additionally, live music is a regular feature on Fridays and Saturdays at Owlerton. After the last race, local bands and singers take the stage to entertain the crowd. This means you and your cohort can move seamlessly from sport to entertainment all under one roof.
Are there Daytime Activities for Groups in Sheffield?
For daytime group outings, Owlerton’s Sunday Lunch is a weekend wonder. Dine in the Panorama Restaurant and tuck into your delicious meal (see menus) while watching live racing. By pre-ordering, you can enjoy extra perks like a free dessert. If your group prefers something lighter or more casual, the Sunday Trio package offers either a roast beef sandwich with roast potatoes or chips, or chicken strips and chips, along with a drink, plus admission and racecard. This is a popular choice for families and friendship groups, so although not strictly necessary, we do encourage groups to book!
