Join us trackside to spend a summer Saturday seeing off the silly season
Bring the family & your favourite summer accessories – jandals, deck chairs, sun umbrellas, shorts and a picnic – and enjoy an alfresco dinner in a relaxing and fun atmosphere at Ellerslie Racecourse.
We cater for all your food and beverage needs with delicious and hassle-free food options available on course or pack a picnic with your favourite treats (including any non-alcoholic, unopened drinks) to enjoy in any of our outdoor, public areas on course. There’s also a hospitality option for those of you who are keen to have a more hassle free experience and we have private rooms & spaces available too. Contact us to learn more.
And remember, 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.
Please note that raceday carparking is accessible via 16 Derby Downs Place (mobility / accessible parking, ticket collection, drop-offs and foot traffic via 100 Ascot Avenue). Learn more here.
