When you visit Newmarket
you step into the heart of the racing world. Newmarket Connections gives
you a unique opportunity to see behind the scenes at racing's
headquarters, to go back stage and see the stars at work in some of the
most successful training yards in the land.
We offer tours for groups and individuals, providing guides and arranging
accommodation if required. We will act as your single point of contact and
provide individual itineraries.
Tours can be combined with racing at one of our two famous racecourses and
half day, full day or longer visits can be arranged. The Newmarket area
has a number of excellent
hotels and is well served by road links.
While 50 of the country's important studs can be found around Newmarket,
we have exclusive access to two of the most successful private studs in
Europe. This is where classic and Group winners are born and raised, including a
visit to the one and only Lochsong’s home from home. With a chance to meet
the stars of the future and several from the past, this is one not to be missed. Should you choose one of our * luxury packages you will spend the
afternoon on what has been described as the prettiest stud in England, with its thatched roofs and chocolate box scenery, you’ll be in
thoroughbred heaven.
