We’re building something special… introducing Dunstall Park Greyhound Stadium – a brand-new dual racing venue right here in Wolverhampton!
We’re thrilled to bring Greyhound Racing to Dunstall Park — adding to the excitement already happening trackside.

With the Racing League fast approaching and Race Week 2 on the way, there’s plenty to look forward to. But first, make sure you’re with us on Monday 22nd July where legendary commentator Derek Thompson bows out on a magnificent career. Tommo's career began unexpectedly at the age of 15 when his father handed him the microphone mid-race at a point-to-point — a moment that set the stage for a lifetime in racing. At just 22, he became the youngest-ever Grand National commentator, famously calling Red Rum's first victory. Over the years, he's voiced the triumphs of legendary horses like Frankel in 2010 and Dubai Millennium in 2000. In Tommo's words "This isn't retirement. I'm just hanging up the binoculars!"

We have organised a trip to Dave Loughnane's yard on Tuesday 19th August. If you would like to come along to this, please contact racing@venatour.co.uk or call 01242 650192 to book your spot. Spaces are limited so if you wish to come, please get in touch!
