Group heading out from Pocklington for a race day in the 8-seater
Back to services

Race days, football & concerts

York Ebor, Beverley, Doncaster St Leger, Elland Road, MKM, St James' Park, Leeds First Direct and Hull Bonus Arenas — go together, come home together.

Event days are what the 8-seater was built for. Guy already knows the drop-off points, the roads to avoid on Ebor Wednesday, where to wait after a Leeds home game, and how long it really takes to clear the Doncaster racecourse car park at the end of St Leger week.

Book early for the big fixtures — Ebor Festival, St Leger week, Beverley Ladies' Day and derby matches book weeks ahead across Yorkshire.

Racing days: York, Beverley and Doncaster

York Racecourse is the flagship — Guy runs groups in for Dante Festival, Ebor Festival, John Smith's Cup Day and Music Nights. The drop-off is as close to the Knavesmire gates as the day's traffic plan allows, and the pickup is a quiet agreed spot away from the main scrum.

Beverley Ladies' Day and evening meetings are just up the A1079 — a favourite for hen groups and birthday parties in the summer. Doncaster St Leger is a bigger day out down the A1(M) but a well-drilled 8-seater run.

Football, rugby and away days

Home fixtures at Hull City (MKM), Leeds United (Elland Road) and York City (LNER Community Stadium) are covered week in week out. Away days to Newcastle, Sheffield, Nottingham, Manchester and even further afield are all fair game — the 8-seater keeps a supporters' group together with proper luggage room for kit.

Concerts and arena shows

Leeds First Direct Arena, Utilita Arena Newcastle, Hull Bonus Arena, Sheffield Utilita, Manchester AO and Co-op Live — Guy runs concert groups out and back so nobody's driving after four pints and a two-hour show.

The important bit is the pickup: agreed spot, pre-arranged time. No standing outside in the rain trying to hail an app driver who won't come.

Common questions

Where will you drop us at York Races?

Guy uses the closest agreed drop-off allowed on the day — you're a very short walk from the Knavesmire gates. Pickup is at a pre-agreed quieter spot away from the main scrum.

Can we book for football away games?

Yes. Newcastle, Sheffield, Manchester, Nottingham, Middlesbrough — all fair game in the 8-seater. Away days book up early, so get in touch as soon as the fixture drops.

Concerts finishing late at Leeds Arena?

That's the standard job. Agreed pickup point on Clay Pit Lane, message Guy when you're out.

Do you cover Beverley Racecourse?

Yes — Beverley is on the doorstep, roughly 25 minutes down the A1079. A favourite for smaller group bookings.

Can we drink prosecco on the way to the races?

Yes — sensible amounts are fine. Just no glass bottles being opened at speed.

What if the race meeting overruns or the concert runs late?

Guy waits. Event finish times slip all the time and it's built into how he quotes the job.
