Golden Ale’s and First Class Equestrian Action served up at the Newmarket Racecourses
The Cambridgeshire Meeting, one of the highlights of the Gold Season at Newmarket Racecourses, hosts some of the best juvenile racing in Europe, often serving as a key starting point for future equine champions who are successful across the global stage. It’s not just the high quality horseracing that makes this event so special – it coincides with Newmarket’s fantastic Real Ale Festival, which showcases some of the best brews from the local area and further afield. There will be dozens of real ales and ciders for racegoers to sample, plus live music, and new for this year there will also be a selection of budding comedians taking to the microphone after racing. If you want to go all out with an indulgent meal, book into the award-winning Champions Gallery Restaurant, which is the perfect base for soaking up all the excitement of a day’s racing whilst enjoying unrivalled panoramic views of the course and exquisite fine dining.
The racing action includes the famous Cambridgeshire Heritage Handicap – the first leg of the historic Autumn Double and an amazing spectacle to behold as 30 horses thunder up The Rowley Mile. The Friday will also see the return of the Shetland Grand National, which is always a popular race on the card, last year being won by Rocco Dettori, son of champion jockey, Frankie. Saturday’s great for families, with lots of free entertainment in the Garden Enclosure throughout the day including inflatables, face painters and Rowley’s Kids Club.
Runs 27-29 September.
