Ep 239 - The Secret to Fakenham Racecourse

Welcome to the third of our Festive five podcasts. Today’s show is about a racecourse, Fakenham racecourse, the only National Hunt course in Norfolk. Through the words of the course’s Chief Executive Officer and Clerk of the Course David Hunter, the racecourse announcer Steven Powell, staff, members, spectators, jockeys, Tabitha Worsley, Nick Scholfield and Jack Quinlan, trainer Lucy Wadham and the course doctor, yes it seems like a Christmas song, you will, I hope to find out the secret to Fakenham racecourse, and what makes it so popular. “It’s just a nice place to go and everybody whose there wants to be there” – Steven Powell – Racecourse announcer. “I still think it’s a special place, every time I go, I get a buzz” – Kevin Webb – Fakenham member for 35 years. “Everyone there loves their racing. It’s just a really fun friendly atmosphere. Everyone wants to help and wants to make sure you have a good day” – Tabitha Worsley - Jockey “It’s the epitome of professionally run course with a country feel. It’s just a great place to go to” – Chris Pitt – Author and racing historian. If you haven’t been to Fakenham racecourse you now have no excuse not to go.   Please subscribe to us on Apple podcasts, Amazon music, Google or Spotify.
