Description
Enjoy a fascinating insight into the history of British Horse Racing Newmarket.  The story of the people and horses involved in racing from its Royal origins to Lester Piggott, Frankie Dettori and other modern heroes.

Highlights include: the head of Persimmon, a great Royal Derby winner in 1896; a special display about Fred Archer, the late Victorian jockey who committed suicide, which features the pistol he used to take his life; and the colourful jackets of ‘Prince Monolulu’, the 1950’s tipster. 

You can also take a tour to the stables and see the horses and meet stable staff.
