What to wear: A tidy standard of dress expected throughout the year. Whilst smart casual is acceptable most days, on major racedays such as the Hawke’s Bay Gold Cup and the three days of our Hawke's Bay Spring Racing Carnival, racegoers are encouraged to dress for the occasion. On these days there is a minimum requirement of a jacket or tie for gentlemen using the Members Stand.
Functions/Hospitality: There is a range of facilities to accommodate groups of up to 350 people, with many views offering glorious views over the racecourse and Te Mata Peak.
