With heart-pounding finish-line thrills, socialising and entertainment, Australia's most anticipated sporting event guarantees an unforgettable experience. VRC Members are in for a treat with a wide range of new and reimagined experiences and beloved traditions. Everywhere you turn, there's something magical to discover. Begin your day by scanning in with your VRC Membership Card and soak up the splendour of the world's greatest racecourse on a perfect spring day. Kick things off in The Club Stand or The Grandstand with a pre-booked dining experience or keep it simple at the many boutique retail food outlets and casual bars that require no booking at all. Set yourself up trackside on the Members Lawn or immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the Furlong Bar or the glamorous G.H. Mumm Champagne Bar in The Club Stand. Meanwhile, The Grandstand offers beloved spaces like The Forum on Level 1, Atrium Trackside, and The View, spoiling members with choice throughout Cup Week. Mark your calendar now for the return of The Rails Promenade, a reimagined space that wowed and delivered in 2022 is back and ready to do it all again. The Bluegrass Bar in The Club Stand will impress with a new menu of mesmerising cocktails and perfect track views just steps away. Indulge in the Italian-inspired fantasy of Straight Six, where every seat includes a substantial credit for its stellar food and drinks, with your pre-booked ticket. Surprises await in a new iteration of everyone's favourite, The Birdcage, where you can reunite with old friends at the crowd-favourite Birdbath Bar. Or secure a seat to be among the first to experience Curtis Stone's Michelin-starred Los Angeles restaurant, Gwen, inspired by 1950s Hollywood glamour and good times. In 2023, VRC Members can also enjoy exclusive member pricing on select corporate hospitality packages and general public spaces, from cocktail-style gatherings and fine dining experiences to the festival-style Palooza.
