Fakenham Racecourse is located in the Norfolk countryside with Charles, Prince of Wales being patron.
Racing has taken place at the current course in Fakenham, which is the only jumps course in the county, since 1905 and was originally known as West Norfolk Hunt before it was rebranded to Fakenham Racecourse in 1964.
The venue also hosts a caravan & camping site which operates throughout the entire year and with the course being just 10 minutes from the town centre, it’s in a great location to draw in the crowds.
It’s hasn’t got the busiest schedule with hosting just six fixtures annually.
