It has grown to become one of Australia’s most important country race clubs and the host of one of the major annual race carnivals outside the metropolitan areas.

Come to Grafton in July to experience one of the greatest country racedays, enjoy the atmosphere and back a winner.

For groups of up to 8 people who wish to watch the races in the relaxed comfort of their own private tennis style box then the Premier Seating Boxes should be your first port of call.

For businesses and larger groups again the Parade Yard Pavilion will meet every requirement, however, if you are looking to have your own private marquee for your business or group that is also available.

It is simply a matter of clicking on the link below to find out which option best suits your needs and budget. Whatever choice you make it will be a good one.
