If you're looking for a thrilling day out, jump over to Fakenham Racecourse, the only national hunt racecourse in Norfolk. Having run for over 100 years, it is a popular day out and an exciting experience.

There are several fixtures throughout the year including Easter, Christmas and the New Year period.
