About Royal Randwick Racecourse
Welcome to Royal Randwick Racecourse, a premier horse racing venue owned by the Australian Turf Club. Located on Alison Road in Randwick, this historic events precinct hosts marquee races like The Everest and a variety of major carnivals. Whether you’re planning a race day or a multi-day event, we’ve got you covered with seating details, parking, transit options, and trusted nearby hotels and dining to make your day seamless.
The Winx Stand at Royal Randwick is the centerpiece for raceday experiences, with substantial seating capacity across ground floor, level 1 and additional configurations. For larger waits and crowds (up to about 50,000 raceday), secure your seats early. We’ll help you navigate parking at Ascot Street, access via light rail on the Randwick Line, and convenient taxi or ride-share options. When you’re planning a visit, consider nearby boutique stays or well-rated hotels for race-week comfort and easy access to Gate 1 or Ascot Street entrances. Remember, dates may be subject to change for rescheduled events or new announcements, so check the event page for the latest details.
