Go to the races in Great Yarmouth
If you enjoy a day at the races, then Great Yarmouth is the perfect destination for you. The thrill of the chase doesn't get any better with greyhound racing year round and spectacular views over the track from the first floor restaurant, exhilarating stock car racing viewed from the stands and exciting horseracing on the flat overlooking the sea to enjoy.
All year round greyhound racing at Yarmouth Stadium with the large, race view restaurant is hugely popular, with racing on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays every week of the year. It's a great night out whether you choose to watch from the outside terraces and bar area, or under cover in the upstairs restaurant.
Yarmouth Stadium also hosts thrilling stock car and banger racing nights where excited crowds gather on the outdoor terraces to watch the cars scream around the track. Some of the cars think it's more like dodgems than a race! Watch out for special race days with monster truck rallies and spectacular firework displays.
From Easter to the end of October, Great Yarmouth Racecourse is home to horse racing on the flat including a straight mile, popular with trainers from Newmarket eager to try out their yearlings.
The grandstand and paddock has space for picnics and the kids to play between races, the premier enclosure is right next to the parade ring. Watch out for the special family race day held every year on August Bank Holiday and for the two ladies' day meetings, when hats and posh frocks are the order of the day.
