Planning Your Visit

Visit the National Horseracing Museum, a five acre site in the heart of Newmarket, Suffolk. It comprises three complementary attractions; National Horseracing Museum in the Trainer’s House and King’s Yard Galleries, Packard Galleries of British Sporting Art in Palace House, and a chance to meet former racehorses in the flagship home of Retraining of Racehorses.

We have a restaurant, bakery and shop onsite. Visits can take from 3 hours to a full day, and sometimes even more…

However, don’t worry if you can’t fit it all in over one day – you can upgrade your ticket to an annual pass for FREE to return as many times as you like for 12 months after purchase. Just ask at the shop for more information.

Please note: The museum is not open on Mondays.

To help with your visit, we’ve asked some of the people who know our site best for their lowdown on what not to miss. We know there’s lots to do at NHRM and it can be tricky fitting it all in, so if you’ve only got limited time on site we want to make sure you use it wisely!
