What's it like at Yarmouth?

Greyhound racing's most easterly outpost, we are a popular venue for holiday makers at one of the Country's top seaside resorts - Great Yarmouth in Norfolk.

The stadium is situated on the A149 linking the holiday resort with the holiday centres at Caister On Sea and Hemsby. As befits an area big on family holidays, accompanied children 15-years-old and under, are admitted free.

Able to accommodate the large summer holiday crowds, Yarmouth Stadium has, upstairs, three Raceview Bars, A Raceview Diner serving the best in bar food, a ground floor snack bar and amusement area plus a fourth, separate, licensed bar.

Newly installed, the stadium boasts the latest DataTote Totalisator interlinked with a new Raceview Television system. Patrons are now able to bet on and watch both racing at Yarmouth and the Intertrack service throughout the stadium complex.

Punters at Yarmouth Stadium are given even more choice during the summer evening horse race season, as they are able to bet at the stadium with bookmakers Greenhill Racing, who offer the SIS service at their facility.
