About this excursion
£159 per person
The National Stud
The Stud opened its gates to the public for the first time in the mid 1970s. 
To this day The National Stud remains the only commercial stud farm in the UK allowing individuals, small groups and large parties the chance to see behind the scenes of a working Thoroughbred stud farm.
Tours of The National Stud last approximately 90 minutes and are taken by coach and on foot. The tours explore this beautiful 500-acre site and focus on introducing visitors to the history and purpose of The National Stud as a commercial Thoroughbred breeding operation. The National Stud is a working commercial stud farm, so the physical content of the tours varies throughout the year, depending on the season and the activities happening on the stud when you visit.
The Jockey Club Rooms
These rooms have been at the heart of British horseracing for over 250 years
. As a private members club, few people have stepped inside and seen the magnificent interiors, which house an unparalleled collection of British racing memorabilia.
We are very fortunate to be able to enjoy a glass of champagne in these prestigious rooms before our three course lunch with tea or coffee.
Outside of Members-only periods, The Jockey Club Rooms is available to non-members for business meetings and events, receptions and dinners, overnight accommodation, luxury weddings and Open House Events that include Sunday lunches and Afternoon Tea and Tours.
The National Heritage Centre for Horseracing and Sporting Art
This centre is housed in Palace House and it was Charles II’s sporting palace and stables. It spans five acres in the heart of Newmarket and comprises three 
complementary attractions; a new National Horseracing Museum, a National Art Gallery of British Sporting Art, and a chance to meet former racehorses and learn what they do after racing, in the flagship home of Retraining of Racehorses.
The National Heritage Centre is the result of over ten years planning, building and fundraising to become the biggest new attraction to open in Suffolk in the last decade. Voted Suffolk Museum of the year 2017.
The cost of this event includes luxury transport, entry to all attractions, champagne, followed by a three course lunch with tea and coffee at the Jockey Club Rooms and, of course, treats.
