This is a unique opportunity to experience and photograph the world's best race horses on the gallops at Newmarket with the Sports Photographer Of The Year Mark Pain and Newmarket Racecourse's official photographer Chris Bourchier. To be on the gallops at Newmarket at dawn is like nothing else and offers some wonderful photographic opportunities. The morning light can be truly stunning as the world's best racehorses are put through their paces just feet away from you, providing you with some beautiful images.

The Newmarket experience begins the night before with a private dinner in the "Weighing Room" at the fabulous Green Man pub on the outskirts of town. The room is a shrine to horse racing, full of beautiful racing pictures taken by Chris Bouchier who will happily talk you through them. After overnight hotel stay in the heart of town, we will head down to the gallops at dawn, moving between various locations to make the most of the light and conditions as the horses are put through their paces in front of you. The pictures and experience can be truly stunning. You will then return to the hotel for quick breakfast before heading off to visit top trainer James Fanshawe's beautiful Pegasus Stables where you can witness a yard at work. Finally we will then head to the equine pool where you can see and photograph horses swimming and exercising in water as part of their ongoing training.

This promises to be a truly great experience, ideal for those who love either photography or horses or both!

The cost is £350, which includes dinner and hotel accommodation the night before.
