Experience all the fun, fashion and excitement of the spring carnival without the crowds at the Blue Pyrenees Estate Avoca Cup.
Held on the same day as the Caulfield Cup (October 15), the Avoca Cup has become renowned as a highlight on the country racing circuit. The setting is unrivalled, with the beautiful Pyrenees Ranges the perfect backdrop to the well-maintained course. As well as its stunning scenery, Avoca has some of the best facilities among country racetracks in Victoria.
The Avoca Turf Club offers a range of packages on the day to suit all occasions and budgets. You can opt for a casual day out with BYO catering on the picnic rug, or dress to impress and make the day a celebration with a mini-marquee or all-inclusive lunch in the function centre. Fashions on the Field’, live entertainment, kids’ activities, food trucks and a Blue Pyrenees Wine Bar make it a day to celebrate.
Return bus transfers are available from Ballarat, Maryborough, Avoca and surrounds, or make a weekend of it and stay at one of the B&Bs or hotels scattered throughout the district or camp at the Racecourse and enjoy a weekend favourite the Cup Eve Calcutta.
