Christmas Picnic at the Races meets the Upper Hutt Night Market!
Two great events, one festive Sunday at Trentham Racecourse!
We've combined our Christmas Picnic at the Races with the Upper Hutt Night Market, bringing you an afternoon and evening packed with racing, Christmas cheer, local shopping, delicious food and entertainment for the whole family.
The racing kicks off at approximately 1pm, with a relaxed afternoon of thoroughbred racing, lawn games and plenty of free family fun. Bring a picnic or grab a bite from the food trucks, find a spot on the front lawn and enjoy all the festivities, including a visit from Santa, lolly scramble, tug of war and sack races.
Then, from 4pm to 8pm, the Upper Hutt Night Market comes to life!
It's the perfect opportunity to support local and tick off some of that last-minute Christmas shopping! Browse a fantastic range of local vendors offering everything from handmade jewellery, candles and homewares to artwork, clothing, plants and unique gifts.
You'll also find a great selection of food trucks serving up a variety of delicious options, alongside live music and entertainment to keep the festive atmosphere going into the evening.
Whether you're joining us for the racing, the Night Market or making a full day of it, there's something for everyone!
