The racing kicks off with Britain’s oldest horse race, The Newmarket Town Plate. This historic, amateur horse race, which has been run at Newmarket’s Round Course since 1666 was instigated by King Charles II, who also won the first running, and stated that it should be run ‘forever’.
Elsewhere across the course there will be live music and other entertainment throughout the day and half an hour after the last race, the official Après Racing after party will begin and provide the perfect end to a fantastic day
