Summer race day glam meets Fleurieu country charm in a striking setting at the Northpoint Fleurieu Strathalbyn Cup. Radiant roses and manicured lawns provide the perfect background for indulging in a refreshing beverage at the ever-popular Pimm’s Pop Up Bar – a staple of any great summer event.

With vine-lined plains, award-winning wineries and beautiful historic buildings, Strathalbyn truly is the epitome of a quaint weekend escape – and the Cup is the perfect excuse to soak it all up.

Whether you’re a racing enthusiast enticed by the quality fields and jockeys, or in it for the frocks, fascinators and glorious selection of local wines, this promises to be an affordable event for the whole family – and with $20 general admission and free entry for kids under fifteen we’re inclined to believe them. Premium packages – guaranteed to make for a divine day enjoyed in your very own gorgeous white marquee on a private lawn area – are also on offer for those looking for an extra lavish day. Cash and prizes are plentiful, and this year’s generous event organisers promise more chances to win big than ever before. This is an absolutely fabulous day that caters for everyone – even if you’re not betting on the races you can still try your luck in the Fashion at the Races qualifying event. Categories of Best Dressed Womenswear, Runner-up Best Dressed, Best Millinery, Best Footwear Women’s and Best Dressed Menswear give you pretty good odds if you ask us! Either way, with a paddle in one hand and a frosty glass of sparkling wine in the other, you’re in for some fun-filled glamour and race excitement.

Founded in 1922 by a group of Fleurieu racing enthusiasts, this stunning racecourse is operated by the Strathalbyn Racing Club, which hosts over fifteen race meetings throughout the year. We have no doubt that this summer race is the best event to savour unparalleled trackside atmosphere, breathtaking panoramic views as well as the wholesome, friendly and hospitable local country atmosphere.

Get your bow ties and summer frocks at the ready!
