I have booked for a horse racing fixture in 2020 and racing is now taking place behind closed doors. What do I do?
We are asking our customers to support British racing by choosing to transfer your booking to an exciting day at the races in 2021.

All customers should have received an email directly from the racecourse. Please check your junk folder and contact us if you haven’t received this.

I'm an Annual Member. What happens to my membership?
We are sorry that we are unable to welcome you back racing in 2020.
As such, we will automatically transfer your membership so that it is valid for the entire 2021 season. This means, when crowds are allowed to return racing, you will not only be able to enjoy Great Yarmouth Racecourse’s 2021 fixtures but also access all 20 Arena Racing Company venues, and make use of every other benefit that comes with being an Annual Member. You will also receive a £30 food and drink voucher to use in 2021.
Furthermore, to extend another thank you for your ongoing support and patience, from 2021, all Annual Members will be invited to be part of the ARC Racing Syndicate completely free of charge, which will give you a fantastic opportunity to enter into the world of racehorse ownership. More details on the syndicate will be sent in the New Year.
Each Annual Member should have received a letter in the post directly from the racecourse. If you haven’t received this, please contact us directly.
I have booked a non-racing related event in 2020? Has this been cancelled?
