Welcome to The Enclosure – your party HQ on the Barrett Lawn.

While removed from the spoils of the winning post, big screens keep you close to it all – no binoculars needed – and you’ll still experience the buzz of the horses racing right past you as they make their way around the first bend out of the home straight.

Good vibes, great company, and non-stop action – it all starts here.

The Enclosure

Your ticket includes:

  • A welcome drink on arrival
  • A food voucher to use at the precinct’s exclusive food truck
  • Access to a cash bar stocked with RTDs, Champagne, still & sparkling wines, local and imported beers, and non-alcoholic options
  • Betting facilities within The Enclosure precinct
  • General admission to the racecourse and The Enclosure, including a racebook
