The Racecourse Conference and Event Centre, Wingatui
 Before you book a reception location for your wedding in Dunedin, you must take the time to consider The Racecourse at Wingatui.
Wingatui Racecourse is located on Gladstone Road, a few kilometres from Mosgiel. It is just a short ten minute drive from Dunedin via SH1 or you can take the romantic winding route over Three Mile Hill and down Puddle Alley for a more scenic alternative.
Wingatui offers many options that are not readily available for people planning their special day.
The Location:
The grounds of the racecourse provide for a picturesque setting, with the beautiful backdrop of the Maungatua Ranges lining the horizon from our totally glass fronted, main function room, The Winning Post Lounge.
The Racecourse is a peaceful location, set well away from any main road. This also provides for a very safe location for children, offering extensive lawns and gardens for them to roam around, as children love to do when present at weddings!
Our venue also offers unique photographic backdrop locations, such as our stables, the parade ring, the birdcage, the jockey's rooms and much more.
What else can The Racecourse offer you?
Affordability:
We are confident that no comparable venue in Dunedin is as affordable as The Racecourse. If price is something you are concerned about, then you should certainly contact us as we are committed to offering our great venue to you at a level within your means.
Flexibility on Catering:
The Racecourse has an excellent preferred caterer to recommend for all its functions, however, if you have your own personal choice, we remember its your wedding day and you can source your own caterer, or if you want to just get friends and family to prepare the food we have a fully operational kitchen on-site that you can use to service your event.
Flexibility on Bar Service:
We understand that budgeting is a significant part of your wedding planning and drinks make up a major component of the overall cost. Therefore we are pleased to let you contemplate bringing your own beverages and servicing your own wedding if it makes things more affordable. However, if you want a trouble free option, we will of course provide bar staff or indeed, lay on a full bar service.
Access:
The Racecourse offers simple access to all the lawns (for marquee weddings) and function room areas. No need to carry the bride too far! You can drive right up outside the main entrance. The Club Members car park offers free and easy parking for up to 500 cars. There is also simple disabled access.
Our Best Room: The Winning Post Lounge
There are not many venues in Dunedin that can cater for large gatherings in such a tremendous environment. The recently refurbished, fully carpeted and tastefully decorated, Winning Post Lounge is the flagship room at The Racecourse. It is suitable for groups of 300 people seated or up to 500 standing. It is a glass fronted, two-tiered room, facing the grass race track with amazing unimpeded views of the hills making the best of the racecourse's tranquil setting. There is a large bar area and a brand new wooden dance floor. The area is serviced by multiple toilets. It also has easy wheelchair access.
Other Room Choices:
The Great Sensation Room is ideal as a reception area for all your guests, as it leads into the Winning Post up a short run of steps. It looks out to the parade ring and the paddock lawn. It is also a suitable location for smaller gatherings being able to cater for up to 100 seated individuals.
Wingatui has numerous other rooms that can all be considered each with different facets - including the Bonecrusher Bar, the largest room at the track, ideal for sports clubs, 21sts, school formals, etc. The wood paneled classic style, Baghdad Note Bar, on the second floor of our building which is ideal for Board meetings and small work conferences, and the Noble Bijou, a great spot for parties of any sort!
The team at The Racecourse is looking forward to showing you around.
