Christmas at the Races is open under NZ Thoroughbred Racing Covid-19 Protection Framework Orange.
At Trentham Racecourse the below options to enjoy the raceday are currently available on a first come first served basis. Reservation is essential for all Members Stand access and reserved hospitality.
The process is slightly different to what we know as a standard raceday at Wellington Racing Club. Although some of this process is over and above the framework guidelines, this raceday has been planned for stricter protocol for months, to ensure you have the best possible raceday experience there are a few aspects that cannot change in such short leadtime. Please take the time to read the day guidelines if you plan on attending.
