Entertainment
Known as the headquarters of British racing, Newmarket's Rowley Mile course features a clutch of top quality events such as the 1000 and 2000 Guineas in early May and Champions Day in October. One of the fairest tracks in the world, racing at the Rowley Mile is divided into two seasons, spring and autumn, and only on rare occasions does the ground ride on the soft side.
Racing switches from the Rowley Mile to the popular July Course during the summer months. The highlight of the season is the Darley July Cup, Europe's leading six furlongs sprint, which takes place on the final day of the three-day July Meeting. The six evening meetings are amongst the most popular fixtures staged anywhere in the country.

Mouth watering Wild Dough Pizzas are one of a kind!
They make their dough fresh daily, and then let it cold proof for at least 48 hours to get that perfect flavour and texture. The dough is made with wild yeast starter culture (hence the name) which is produced by healthy bacteria grown in a natural environment instead of instant yeast. Best pizza EVER now available in Isleham on a Sunday evening from 5pm :-)
