TICKET OPTION - THE ENCLOSURE

Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup Day  - Saturday 13 March 2021

THE ENCLOSURE

Farewell an epic summer of racing within our raceday party precinct

The party stakes of Auckland Cup Week just got raised. 

Welcome to The Enclosure - a party precinct where racing takes a backseat, and the people are to the fore.

It's fashionable, it's playful, it's bustling and it's the place to be. Located in a brilliant outdoor lawn location close to the racetrack, there’ll be plenty of amazing “wish you were here” photo opportunities as the horses gallop past in the background.

​

Start the party off right with a drink on arrival, whet your appetite with mouth-watering goodness from The Enclosure's exclusive pop-up food vendor and enjoy the company of mates at our end-of-summer party.

​

Then, after the last race, keep the fun going with your mates & others from the day at the official after-party in our exclusive Cuvée bar.

This precinct is in hot demand so tickets will be allocated strictly in order of payment.

​

AND we’re taking your Enclosure experience to a whole new level in 2021 with the introduction of the all-new Schweppes 1783 bar in this space, serving up some seriously sophisticated cocktails.

• A drink on arrival
