The Jockey Club

The Jockey Club  is an integral component of the newmarket Landscape, managing the gallops and Training Grounds, the July and Rowley Mile Racecourses, and the private Membersclub on the High Street.

With a population of over 3,000 horses in Newmarket, precision in the daily maintenance and care of the gallops is paramount.  There are 25 heath staff dedicated at any one time to caring for every square meter of the Heath, both on the racecourse side and Bury side of the town.  The Jockey Club Estates have managed the heath since 1753, and therefore have created a legacy for maintaining top
class racehorse training facilities globally, with miles of all-weather and grass surfaces to suit every training need.  The Jockey Club Estates also manage Lambourn training grounds to the same standard, with similar facilities available to a vast number of racing establishments
.
Located on the High Street in the centre of Newmarket, The Jockey Club Rooms have been at the heart of British racing for over 250 years.
Founded in the middle of the eighteenth century, the Jockey Club was originally a social club aiming to promote good fellowships among racing and thoroughbred breeding enthusiasts.  Today their headquarters reside in London,  however The jockey Club Rooms remain a private Members' club, housing an unparalled collection of racing memorabilia.

The Club has eighteen century country house style bedrooms, and five fine reception rooms including The Members' Dining Room, Card Room, Morning Room and of course the historic Coffee Room, which has recently been refurbished.

Outside of sacrosanct Members' only periods, the Club hosts a limited number of Open House Events, inviting non-members to enjoy luxury hospitality and learn about the history of the Jockey
Club.  The Club can host weddings and corporate events subject to availability.
