Fakenham Racecourse

We know it is still August, but for all those organised people starting to plan for Christmas - we have a limited number of places left for a Christmas Party night being held at the Racecourse on Saturday 5 December.

Cost is £38 + vat (£45.60) each and this includes a welcome drink, two-course Christmas meal, crackers, mince pies, tea / coffee and dancing with music provided by one of our resident djs. Arrival 7pm, meal 7.30pm and then partying until midnight.

The event is being held upstairs in The Prince of Wales Stand, which is accessible to everyone with a lift and disabled toilets on the first floor. Parking is adjacent to the building, though please let us know if you would like to leave your vehicle overnight as we might need you to park elsewhere.

From parched to swamped in less than an hour makes for a happier Racecourse Grounds Team 😊🌧️.

Fakenham Dogfield, at Fakenham Racecourse, has just been given permission from NNDC to extend opening hours from 6am to 10pm. This will allow more dog owners to use the field at cooler times of the day during the current hot weather. We have also installed a shaded corner with picnic table for dog owners and a water hose with shower attachment for hot dogs!! Go to our website to make your bookings

We love welcoming owners, old and new, to Fakenham and hope to see many more when we start racing again in October

What a great gift to receive from Fakenham Racecourse . They are a credit to British Racing, and go above and beyond making owners feel welcome and appreciated. We received this for Time To Bites win back in May. We will find it a nice spot on the wall. Thank you very much 🏇🏼.
