NEWMARKET JULY FESTIVAL & JULY COURSE FACILITIES

[divider slashed]

Considered the home of British horse racing for over 300 years, Newmarket boasts 2 racecourses: the Rowley Mile and the July Course. As it name suggests, the Newmarket July Festival is staged at the July Course. The July course has a special style and in 2007 a £10m redevelopment of the existing facilities at the July Course in Newmarket was completed, ensuring it’s position as a first-class sporting venue. Opened by Lester Piggott and Frankie Dettori, the changes were designed to improve the experience of racegoers, providing vastly improved facilities while maintaining the magical charm of the July Course at the heart of its popularity.
