Why Newmarket?

Newmarket, a small but thriving market town rich in history, is located just 12 miles northeast of Cambridge and is world-renowned for its deep connection to the horse racing industry. Nestled within the lush landscapes of Suffolk, this town has been a centre of equestrian activity since the reign of King James I in the early 17th century, earning it the title 'the centre of horseracing in Britain'. A little fact for the historians amongst you: the first recorded race meeting actually took place in 1622...so a few years back now.

Home to over 3,500 racehorses, more than 60 horse training stables, and two large racetracks (the Rowley Mile and the July Course), not to mention the famous Jockey Club, Newmarket hosts some of the finest horseracing in the world. The town is also home to the National Stud and the National Horseracing Museum, preserving its rich heritage for future generations to come. However, if music is more your thing, there are several popular live music events throughout the year.

Newmarket's history, combined with its modern amenities and beautiful architecture (Grade II listed buildings are dotted everywhere), make it a desirable blend of old and new.

It has excellent access to the A14, A11 and M11, making the commute to London a breeze (...that may be an exaggeration). For those not so keen on commuting by car, the town's railway station has direct services to Cambridge, Ely, and Bury St Edmunds, with connections to London King's Cross and London Liverpool Street available via Cambridge.

For international travel, Stansted Airport is approximately 30 miles away, offering flights to numerous destinations across Europe. Whatever your reason for travel, you have a number of flexible options.

There really is something for everyone, and we haven't even covered the social events and evening classes in the area...of which there are many.

The town has well-maintained parks, such as the Severals, which is a popular spot for families, dog walkers and joggers alike. The Newmarket Leisure Centre is also a hub for sports and fitness enthusiasts, offering a swimming pool, gym, and sports courts for the health-conscious amongst us. If you prefer arts and culture, the Kings Theatre, a small but vibrant venue, hosts a range of performances, from amateur dramatics to live music. Maybe you want to indulge in it all, and we wouldn't blame you!

Schools

If you are moving to Newmarket with children (or hoping to have them) and looking for schools, the area provides several educational options, making it an attractive location for families. The town has a mix of primary and secondary schools, both state and independent. Houldsworth Valley Primary Academy, in particular, has received extensive positive feedback for its nurturing environment and has become a popular choice among residents. There are also several independent schools in the surrounding area, offering a variety of specialised programs. Take your pick.

Eateries and Shops

Newmarket's town centre has a crazy number of eateries, public houses, and shops that cater to a variety of palates. From traditional British pubs like The White Hart to modern cafes such as Nancy's Vintage Teashop, there is an eatery for every taste. The town also has several fine dining establishments, including the award-winning The Packhorse Inn, serving contemporary British cuisine.

For those who enjoy a bit of retail therapy, the Guineas Shopping Centre is the main retail hub, featuring a range of high-street brands and independent boutiques. Whether you want a butcher, baker or candlestick maker, Newmarket has you covered. The popular local market is held on Tuesdays and Saturdays, between 9am - 3pm, and hosts a variety of different stalls, ranging from fruit and vegetables, cakes, jewellery, flowers and fine food and drink; trust us when we say we have tested every single one of them - well almost!

So, is Newmarket the place for you to lay down some roots? It seems like a fantastic choice for us! But then again, we are biased...
