Enjoy a unique race day experience, brilliant as a gift for a horse racing enthusiast or even someone who has never been to the races before.

The day begins when you are greeted by one of our Fakenham Racecourse Directors, who will explain the day and take you for a tour of the racecourse (to include some areas you are unable to visit as a member of the public).

This package includes a Day Member pass so you can access all areas of the racecourse, so if you want to go up to the winning post or stand near the owners and trainers in the Grandstand, you can do so.

It also includes a voucher for a hot drink and a race card.

For one race you will visit the Parade Ring, with your guide, and have the unique opportunity only an owner usually has to be up close to the horses, trainers and jockeys before they head out on the track.

If there is availability, you will also have the amazing chance to choose the 'best turned out' horse and present the prize. If you are not sure what to look for, panic not – you will be guided, but it is still your choice as a small group to make.

This is an exclusive package for a maximum of 6 people at each race meet. If you would like a private group of maybe slightly more, please contact us on info@fakenhamracecourse.co.uk and we will see if we can help.

Dress code is casual / practical and appropriate for the weather.

Lunch is not included in this package, but there are many mobile catering units and indoor or outdoor space to eat.
