Christmas party season has finally arrived and we're here for it.
Get into the spirit of the festive season and join us at Ellerslie for Christmas at the Races, a thrilling day of hospitality & racing action.
Kicking off just after midday, you’ve got the choice of enjoying the festivities in your choice of shared or private precinct with a package to suit any taste, style or budget.
On track the action will be fierce with nine races set to entertain, headed up by the Griup 3 Great Northern Challenge Stakes and the Listed Armacup Stakes (3YO)
There’s nothing quite like it and best of all, this event supports Cure Kids, a charity supporting medical research to help save, extend and improve the lives of children diagnosed with serious health conditions.
If you’re a TAB account holder, head on over to the newly renovated TAB Winning Post where you can hang out for the day. All you need to do is check in with your TAB account details to gain entry and you’re golden.
A free bouncy castle and swing ball sets will be out too, to help keep the little ones entertained between races.
In addition to shared precincts (see ticketing below), private hospitality options are available. Contact us to learn more.
If you require accommodation in Auckland to rest your hooves following a big day trackside, our partner SkyCity Auckland has you covered.
