Racing is an outing which combines tradition and excitement second to none - the perfect excuse to rise to the occasion, dress up smartly, express your style and feel incredible. We are proud of this history and a dress code does apply to certain areas on-course. Members and guests are kindly reminded of their responsibility to uphold the standards, Wellington Racing Club and their security agents reserve the right of entry.
A high standard of dress is expected in keeping with the dignity of the Members Stand and most people will be in raceday attire – suits and dresses with headwear are the epitome of raceday fashion.
Smart Casual is the minimum standard expected – dress jeans, dress T-Shirts and collared shirts are permitted.
Not permitted: ripped or torn jeans, track pants, shorts, running shoes, jandals, singlets and non-dress T-shirts.
As our elite Gold Members with access to the Birdcage enclosure, a higher standard of dress is expected in this area, particularly on Group 1 racedays and Wellington Cup Day.
