Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup Day - Auckland Cup Week - Saturday 7 March 2020

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 until 9.30pm.

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

• A drink on arrival 

• Dining voucher to be used at The Enclosure's exclusive food vendor
