GREATER YARMOUTH

Racing and Sporting Events

Greater Yarmouth is a superb destination for race spectators and sporting enthusiasts with a race course, a stadium and three 18 hole golf courses within a stone's throw of the resort.

Great Yarmouth has a fantastic seaside racecourse for horse racing on the flat from April to October every year. Featuring more than twenty day, two and three day race meetings from Easter onwards, Great Yarmouth's racecourse is one of only a very few courses in the country to also have a straight mile. Ladies Day is in July and regular Rhythm and Rock nights with evening racing and live music take place in the summer months. Children under 16 enter for free, making it a family-friendly venue.

Yarmouth Stadium between Great Yarmouth and Caister-on-Sea has a year-round programme of greyhound and stock car racing and the popular new raceview restaurant is a favourite venue for fun nights out for all the family whatever the weather. With outside terraces, bars and cafés, the stadium is a very family-friendly venue. Special gala evenings are rounded off with spectacular fireworks displays.

Here in Great Yarmouth we're counting down to the 2012 Games - click here to find out more.
