137th Easter Racing Carnival

Saturday 30 March & Monday 1 April 2013

THERE’S NOTHING LIKE HEDGING YOUR BETS. ST PATRICK’S RACE DAY Saturday 16 March 2013 It’s traditional for the Irish to do things a little different, that’s why we’ve decided to celebrate St Patrick’s Day a little early in 2013.

The meeting launches the jumps racing season in South Australia, with special appearances by accomplished Irish Jockeys.

The family friendly event will be a celebration of Irish culture including Irish music, dancing and amusements for the kids. A range of Irish themed hospitality packages are available for guests wishing to make the most of the trackside party.

137th OAKBANK EASTER RACING CARNIVAL Saturday 30 March & Monday 1 April 2013 Located in the stunning Adelaide Hills, Oakbank Racecourse is home to jumps racing in South Australia, which combines with flat racing to make two days of thrilling racing over Easter each year. The historic Oakbank Racing Club is in its 137th year, with the iconic Easter Racing Carnival first held in 1876 – an event which regularly attracts more than 100,000 visitors annually and qualifies as the world’s biggest picnic race meeting.

The ‘Oakbank Experience’ is unique, offering a carnival atmosphere in breathtaking surroundings. Corporate guests and groups of families and friends can enjoy numerous trackside hospitality areas, rides and amusements, an animal petting zoo, roving entertainers and of course thrilling thoroughbred racing in an idyllic setting.

Whether it is a small group or a large number of guests requiring a private race day marquee, Oakbank can provide a package to suit your needs.
