A mid-week afternoon at the races

Ft. the all-new Ellerslie Ladies' Lunch

Take a break from the everyday and spend your afternoon at the track or in our all-new Ladies’ Lunch.

It’s a great midweek opportunity to watch your horse go around, enjoy some racing and catch up with the girls.

General admission is free with the public welcome to head into the TAB Winning Post (ground floor, Ascot Stand) which will have café-style food and beverages for purchase. Entry into this space is free with no ticket required.

The Takanini Room will be open for the use of Club members.

Tickets are required for the Ladies’ Lunch.

Timings are approximate and subject to change.
