About Fakenham Racecourse
Open all year, this relaxed and friendly site is set in rural Norfolk and is very well kept with extensive grass lawns and also more intimate garden areas. The location is just 10 to 15 miles from the stunning north Norfolk coast or an hours' drive to the historic city of Norwich, the Norfolk Broads or east coast. There are 150 tent and caravan pitches, with plenty of space between them. 100 pitches on both grass and hard standing have electric and TV points, while a further 50 tent-only pitches are mostly non-electric. A privately owned and run site, the staff here go above and beyond to make it a great place to unwind. Children and dogs are very welcome and there are grass areas for both to play.
The site is usually open year round.
The site's well maintained and spotlessly clean facilities include three amenity blocks, pot washs and fully accessible shower and toilet facilities.

The racecourse runs professional horse race meetings from October to June and guests are more than welcome to stay over a race meeting, but will need to move from their pitch to the centre of the course for the race day itself. If you stay for at least two nights over a race meeting you'll receive complimentary badges to go racing.
