Overview
We begin with tea/coffee on arrival before our guided introduction to this fascinating museum. The National Horseracing Museum is a 5-acre site in the heart of Newmarket. It comprises three complementary attractions; National Horseracing Museum in the Trainer’s House and King’s Yard Galleries, the Packard Galleries of British Sporting Art in Palace House, and a chance to meet former racehorses in the flagship home of Retraining of Racehorses. So much more than a museum! There is a fabulous restaurant and gift shop on-site. There will be free time for lunch before we drive to The National Stud where we enjoy a guided tour, some on the coach and some flat walking. Guided tours of The National Stud are delivered by our partners at Discover Newmarket and are a fantastic way of learning more about what goes on behind the scenes of a Thoroughbred stud farm. Depending on the season visitors can expect to see mares with their young foals, yearlings and stallions all in the truly beautiful grounds of the National Stud. On your guided tour you will also hear about the history of the stud, and an overview of the work that goes into producing the future champions of the turf. There are no refreshments at The National Stud so we suggest you bring a flask and something for the journey home if you wish.
