Our most popular group/coach tour combines a visit to the National Stud and National Horseracing Museum. With this option you can enjoy a 90 minute, guided tour of the National Stud where you can meet the resident stallions as well as the visiting mares and their foals. Our knowledgeable tour guides can hop onto your coach or you have the option of using our tour vehicles (subject to numbers). Then head to the National Horseracing Museum, where you can enjoy a 60 minute guided tour of some of the impressive exhibitions and galleries with the option of leaving time to explore the remaining site at leisure. Here you will learn more about the town’s history, admire the impressive Sporting Art collection in Palace House, meet the resident ex-racehorses and miniature Shetland ponies, Kizzy and Harry and have a go at some of the interactive displays including the racehorse simulator.
Groups of 15 people and upwards can enjoy this experience for £26 per person plus £100 guiding fee. If time is short and you can only accommodate one attraction then the National Stud can be booked for £14 per person with a £50 guiding fee and a tour of the National Horseracing Museum is £12 per person with a guiding fee of £50.
We welcome pre-visits for organisers and offer free refreshment vouchers for coach drivers.
We know that groups come in various sizes and whilst we cater for larger groups, we haven’t forgotten the smaller ones. So, if you are an individual, a couple, a family or a small group of friends we can arrange a private tour. For an extra, one off fee of £60 you can have your very own Newmarket Experience, Ultimate Newmarket Experience, National Stud, National Horseracing Museum or Race Day Tour on a date of your choice, perfect for celebrating a special occasion.
