Horse Racing Museum

Horse Racing Racing Museum, Palace House, Newmarket - King Edward VII

‘The sport of kings’

King Edward VII enjoyed gambling, particularly horse racing - his horses won the Derby in 1896, 1900 and 1909, and the Grand National in 1900.

This museum (National Heritage Centre) was opened by Queen Elizabeth II. A fascinating museum for those interested in the history of horse racing; read all about horse racing through the ages and look at the impressive photos.

Admission fee: adults £15.00, students £8.00 and children under the age of 16 – free.
