About Wetherby
Learn more about the host city, Wetherby.
Wetherby is a market town in West Yorkshire, best known for its racecourse. It's 13 miles northeast of Leeds, so it's a commuter town and part of that metropolis, as West Yorkshire is no longer a unit of governance. In 2021 its population was 11,700.
