National Horseracing Museum

The three charities combined to form the National Heritage Centre for Horseracing & Sporting Art, which was opened by Elizabeth II on 3 November 2016.

[3] The new owners let the buildings fall into disrepair, and in 1992 Forest Heath District Council acquired the estate with a compulsory purchase order.

Equine artists represented in the collection include George Stubbs, Sir Alfred Munnings and Lucy Kemp-Welch.

There are twice-daily tours of the grounds, where visitors can see the forge, the horse-walker and the paddocks, and also watch the horses being schooled in the Peter O'Sullevan arena.

[9] Several times a year the Peter O'Sullevan arena hosts displays such as horseball and horseback falconry (both featuring retired racehorses) and Suffolk Punch horses.

[11] In 2020 the museum won the small visitor attraction of the year category in the East Anglian Daily Times Norfolk and Suffolk Tourism Awards.
