Let’s be honest – the only reason one has suspenders and fascinators in the depths of their wardrobe is so that once a year you can dust them off, attend the races, and clink champagne glasses while conversing with good friends like the classy, sophisticated people you most definitely aren’t.

Kicking off the summer racing season at Ellerslie, Contiki Whips n’ Spurs is back in full force with their ‘London Calling’ themed hoo-rah, offering the perfect excuse to gather your friends, assume bad British accents for the day and punt your hard-earned money on horses with ridiculous names. Spend the day on the public lawn, bring a picnic with some handmade sammies and you’re in for a sweet time amongst the jockeys and socialites. Oh, and everyone who attends will be in the draw to win a Contiki European Horizon ten day trip – not bad for a day at the races, huh?

If your friends are keen, a limited number of Early Bird tickets are available now as well as the sell-out VIP area for all you fancy folk.
