Little Sydney at The Championships

Overview

Going to the races isn't just about watching the race. In fact, we think eating delicious food in an atmospheric setting is just as good as watching horse races. At the 2017 Championships, you can head to the Little Sydney pop-up at Royal Randwick Racecourse and multitask by watching the race and eating food at the same time.

Little Sydney will pop up over two Saturdays, April 1 and April 8, and feature some of Sydney's finest dining in a delightfully lavish race day experience. The precinct is situated on the Rose Garden Lawn which overlooks the Theatre of the Horse. Ticket holders can choose to eat at one of three decadent marquees hosted by some of Sydney's finest—this year upmarket seafood restaurant Catalina, boutique butcher and providore Victor Churchill and high-end Asian-fusion restaurant China Doll will be there. Each marquee will offer a specially curated, gourmet menu. On the drinks side, Pimms will be running the precinct's bar with a selection of their refreshing cocktails, and James Boags will take over the viewing deck.

Tickets to access Little Sydney will cost a pretty penny—at $450 per person — but this experience really takes all-inclusive luxury to the next level. Each ticket includes Members' Reserve access, exclusive entry into Little Sydney and your chosen Marquee, live music, full coverage of the days racing via private plasma screens, private betting facilities and complimentary infield parking or public transport.

Tickets to Little Sydney are on sale via the Australian Turf Club website.
