Newmarket
A day out at Newmarket races is special – this is the true home of the sport of kings and there are two fantastic racecourses to choose from depending on the timing of your visit.
The Rowley Mile Course is the grand stage – host to some of the best racing in the world during the spring and autumn months, whilst the July course is a heart stirring place of pure English countryside, garden party atmosphere and top entertainment at the height of summer.
Set in stunning Suffolk countryside yet only 60 miles from London, Newmarket has been home to horseracing since the 17th century when it staged the first ever official race, the Town Plate. Now as the site of the world’s largest training grounds, the base for numerous racing organisations, trainers and jockeys and where more racehorses are bred, stabled and trained than anywhere else in the world, Newmarket is undoubtedly The Home of Horseracing.
