A day’s racing is unquestionably a social ritual best enjoyed with friends. The unique rhythm of a raceday allows plenty of time to enjoy a catch up over a bite to eat or relax sharing a bottle of Champagne. It is the perfect occasion for your group of friends, family or colleagues to celebrate. Plan your day ahead and save up to 40% on group bookings when you book in advance as a group of 10 or more. Book by 31st January and 31st July to enjoy best prices for Sydney Autumn Carnival and Everest Carnival respectively. Here are a few convenient options to make your raceday celebrations unforgettable.
