Welcome to The Enclosure - the party precinct where racing takes a backseat, and the people are to the fore.
One of our most sought-after precincts, The Enclosure, is returning to Auckland Cup Day once again and gearing up to entertain Auckland’s social set.
Located in a brilliant outdoor lawn location beside 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 delicious drink on arrival, tuck in to some delicious food from the pop-up food truck, watch the action of the Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup and and enjoy the company of mates in this sell-out precinct.
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 until the event closes.
Always an early sell-out, tickets will be allocated strictly in order of payment.
