Duchess's Stand, Epsom Downs Racecourse

This state of the art grandstand provides excellent facilities for race meetings and many other commercial events. The facilities include, at ground floor level, a large Hall for betting, conferences, graduations, banquets and exhibitions. The first floor accommodates 3 large spaces, which can be separate or combined and which offer restaurant, conference and function facilities served by a bar and regeneration kitchens fed from the main ground floor kitchens. At second floor level there are two levels of boxes providing corporate entertainment, restaurant areas, function rooms and accommodation for meetings.

Racecourse Holdings Limited commissioned WBM to advise the design team on all acoustic aspects of the project. The diverse range and potential use of the spaces created interesting acoustic challenges. WBM worked closely with the Architects, Roberts Limbrick to establish suitable sound insulation requirements and solutions, reverberation control and privacy requirements and work up cost effective design solutions. The Duchess’s Stand opened in April 2009.
