Fakenham Racecourse in gorgeous Norfolk is a Mecca to those who love to watch the magnificent horses surge around the course. This is where a little flutter can become something glorious and where simply immersing oneself in the sights and sounds can be the most wonderful experience.

Fakenham Racecourse is, in other words, a place like no other.

There are plenty of events coming up in the next few weeks and months at Fakenham – and there is sure to be something that suits you.

And if you do choose to place a bet on that one particular horse or jockey that is calling to you, then Fakenham is the ideal place to do it. It’s small enough to be comfortable, yet will give you plenty of choice when it comes to where and when to bet. Not sure what to do? No problem. By checking out the odds at Coral you can place a bet before you even leave the house, leaving you to enjoy the racing itself (and hopefully collect your winnings at the end)!

Christmas

The Christmas Meeting at Fakenham takes place on 18th December this year, and is a fabulous day out for all. If you are thinking of taking the family out for a bit of fun during the festive period or you are looking for something different to do with your office Christmas party, the Fakenham Christmas Meeting could be your answer. It’s the ideal place to take the little ones to enjoy a bit of Christmas spirit (Father Christmas will be there, plus anyone under 17 gets in free). You can even take the dog.

New Year

The New Year Meeting at Fakenham is a fabulous way to get out in the fresh air after the (potential) excesses of the night before. And it’s not just racing, either, although that is a major component of the day. If you’re going to place a bet on anything this year, you might as well make it a good one – check out Coral before you leave home to see what’s what. But apart from the horses, there are many other things for the whole family to do at this meeting. There will be lots of different local vendors selling delicious food and drink, plus the bars are open all day to help you celebrate the new year in style.

Greene King Day

Sponsored by the Greene King drinks company, this day is just as jam packed as all the others. Held on 17th February 2017, this is one to put in your diaries – why not take your loved one out as a Valentine’s treat, and place a bet for them? Win or lose, you’ll still have a fun day out. Dress up smartly, mingle with the crowds, watch the races, and feel that exciting atmosphere that means so much to so many.
