Summer Raceday

Gather the family and make the most of a summer afternoon at Ellerslie.
Summer Raceday is all about easy-going fun, fresh air, and quality time together, with plenty to keep both kids and adults entertained throughout the day. Enjoy the excitement of live thoroughbred racing, relax on the lawns with a picnic, or explore the range of food and beverage options available on course.
Families can make a day of it with a fantastic line-up of free children’s activities, including a bouncy castle, giant garden games, swing ball challenges, and more. With wide open spaces to run around and a safe, welcoming atmosphere, it’s the perfect setting for kids to play while parents sit back and enjoy the raceday action.
