National Horseracing Museum

The National Horseracing Museum is a 5-acre site in the heart of Newmarket.

It comprises three complementary attractions; National Horseracing Museum in the Trainer’s House and King’s Yard Galleries, the Packard Galleries of British Sporting Art in Palace House, and a chance to meet former racehorses in the flagship home of Retraining of Racehorses. So much more than a museum!

Situated in the King’s Yard and Trainer’s House, the National Horseracing Museum tells the story of horseracing from its earliest origins to the world-wide phenomenon it is today. Using the latest interactive and audio visual displays the museum takes a different look at the sport, examining the physical attributes of the elite equine athlete and the importance of thoroughbred pedigree.

We have a fabulous restaurant and gift shop on-site and visits can take from 3 hours to a full day, and sometimes even more…! Don’t worry if you can’t fit it all in in one day – upgrade your ticket to an annual pass for FREE when you get here. You can then return as many times as you like for 12 months after purchase!

PLEASE NOTE: The National Horseracing Museum is not open on Mondays, other than Bank Holidays.
