Hospitality at the Dante Final Furlong II – Friday 10 July 2026
✨ NEW FOR 2026 ✨
Hospitality at the Dante Final Furlong II – York Racecourse
The Dante Final Furlong II takes place on Friday 10 July 2026 at York Racecourse. This page covers the hospitality available through AR Events for the event, what’s included in the package, and how to secure your place. Following the success of the original Dante Final Furlong fixture, this summer edition builds on the same format with racing, dining, and an atmosphere that makes it one of the more distinctive days on the York calendar.
What Is the Dante Final Furlong II?
The Dante Final Furlong II is an AR Events exclusive hospitality day at York Racecourse, held during the summer fixture card in July. It takes place in the Dante Suite — one of the premium private spaces at York — and is designed for guests who want a proper day at the races rather than a standard hospitality package.
July racing at York offers some of the best flat racing of the summer season. The Knavesmire in mid-summer is an excellent backdrop for a corporate day or a private group celebration, with long evenings, good ground, and competitive racing across the card.
The Dante Final Furlong brand has established itself as a popular fixture in AR Events’ York calendar. This second edition follows high demand from guests who attended the original event in October.
What’s Included
The Dante Final Furlong II package is set within the Dante Suite, which provides excellent views of the racing alongside a premium dining and drinks offering.
The package includes:
- Exceptional trackside views of the day’s racing from the Dante Suite
- Summer dining, prepared by top-tier chefs
- Premium drinks service throughout the day, including chilled Champagne and fizz
- Full race-day programme included

Who Is This Event For?
The Dante Final Furlong II works for a range of groups. It’s a good fit for corporate clients who want a premium, self-contained day where the catering and entertainment are taken care of — particularly useful for client entertaining where you want a strong occasion without organising everything from scratch.
It also suits private groups marking a celebration. A midsummer raceday with a quality dining package and a dedicated suite gives a birthday or anniversary group a genuinely different experience from a restaurant booking or a general admission day at the races.
Groups typically range from pairs through to larger private parties. If you have a specific group size in mind, it’s worth checking availability early — AR Events’ exclusive events at York tend to fill up ahead of the fixture date.
How the Dante Suite Compares to Other York Hospitality Options
York Racecourse offers a range of hospitality options through AR Events, from restaurant dining to private boxes. The Dante Suite sits at the premium end of that range and is specifically used for AR Events’ curated event days rather than standard raceday bookings.
If you’re comparing options across the season, the Ebor Festival hospitality in August is the flagship four-day meeting. For groups interested in private box options across other York fixtures, the private suite guide covers what’s available by stand. The race dates page lists all 2026 fixtures if you’re deciding which meeting suits your group best.
For October, AR Events also runs the Dante Final Furlong suite on Friday 9 October 2026 — so if the July date doesn’t work, the autumn edition is worth considering.
