The July Course

The July Course resides alongside the National Stud on the approach to the town and is home to all Newmarket’s summerrace meetings.

From mid-June to the end of August, the course provides the perfect setting for a fantastic day’s racing thanks to its unique rustic charm. Open air bars, the sun dappling through the trees and the thatched roofed buildings make up the character of this distinctive and much loved course. Less than two years ago, sparkling new facilities were introduced behind the stands following the £10m enlargement and redevelopment of this area.

Newmarket's summer racing highlight is the July Festival which in 2010 is scheduled for Wednesday 7th - Friday 9th July involving three days of world class racing and fabulous fashion in the magical garden party atmosphere of the July Course.

The rest of the spectacular summer season is made up of eight Friday-Saturday fixtures, two in June prior to The July Festival, and a run of six consecutives Friday-Saturday fixtures following The Festival. The first seven of the Fridays are evening meetings and make up the world famous "Newmarket Nights", Britain's most successful concert race nights.
