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. It can be a family affair as children aged 17 and under are admitted free (must be accompanied by an adult) and there are often family fun days. A firm favourite in the social diary is Ladies' Day. There are several fixtures throughout the year including Easter, Christmas and the New Year period.
