What do I wear?

Every year, the fashions at Canberra’s races become more elaborate and impressive, but you don’t have to be the fashion savviest individual or wear the fanciest fascinator to look the part. However headwear for the ladies, and a suit for the men is a must. For the men, the official lapel flower for the Canberra Cup is a red rose, secure one to your lapel for classic race day style and watch the women swoon.

If you’re ahead of the fashion game, why not enter in Fashions on the Field? There’s thousands of dollars in prizes to be won this year, including a trip for 2 to Hong Kong. Please click here to learn about the strict criteria.

What if I want VIP luxury?

There are a plethora of enclosures, marquees and corporate options available this year, including Reserved Grandstand seating, Legends Lane marquee, Picnic Place, The Lawns Private Marquee, Corporate marquees with track views and Silks Restaurant. Click here for more info.
