Caulfield Racetrack offers the perfect way to entertain the whole family on Boxing Day with children’s activities, racing, live music and even the Boxing Day cricket test between Australia and Sri Lanka on the big screen live from the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
While sports fans will enjoy the racing and television coverage of the test match, there will also be plenty to keep non-sports fans entertained.
The front lawn at the racetrack will be transformed into a family fun area with activities including face painting, pony rides, crafts, and a bungee run for the children. Giant board games, such as Connect Four, will keep the whole family happy, while relay races and cricket activities offer the chance to get active during the day. A live band will also be playing throughout.
Santa is scheduled to visit during the afternoon, making an ideal photo opportunity for anyone who has missed him so far this year. Postcard printing is an ideal way of reproducing photographs to send to family or friends overseas.
There will be space to picnic on the lawn, but for those who would like a more upmarket experience, there is a choice of three restaurants offering a range of dining options.
Tickets for the event are on sale now, but Caulfield residents can get in free as part of a special offer for locals. Residents will need to show identification, such as a rates notice, that confirms their name and a local address in order to gain free entry.
