The Newmarket Festival was launched in 2007. It complements a rich tradition of Festivals in Suffolk – including the Suffolk Festival, Aldeburgh Festival and Bury Festival. Over a 5 year period the Newmarket Festival will become a must-see summertime social event in the heart of East Anglia.
The vision for the Newmarket Festival is:
“A celebration of English summertime and Newmarket, our home, the home of horse racing.”
We started the Newmarket Festival for four reasons:
-
To celebrate all of the Newmarket that we know – not just the racing and nightclubs that most visitors know us for
-
To give people who come to Newmarket a reason to stay longer, visit our shops and learn about our businesses
-
To help the young people of Newmarket lift their aspirations and give them the skills and opportunities to help them achieve them
-
To help join together the different groups and bodies that are working to improve Newmarket
