Oaks & Derby Festival delivers top racing and fashion
Presented by Winger Motors, the 2017 Oaks & Derby Festival is set deliver two exciting evenings of top harness racing and the latest designer fashion.
Hospitality packages for Alexandra Park’s festival on the first two Fridays in March are selling fast, says Joel Reichardt, Alexandra Park Sales & Marketing Manager.
Fashion at the Oaks will take place on Friday 3 March with tickets for the glamorous evening in the Tasman Room available for $99 per person.
Attendees will not only enjoy a gourmet three-course meal but a glass of bubbles on arrival, a deluxe goodie bag, and a great night of fashion shows featuring the latest collections from leading designers Adrienne Winkelmann, Kay Goss, Yvonne Bennetti, Augustine and Hailwood.
Fashion at the Oaks is set to be a fun night out with Alexandra Park now encouraging people to gather their friends and colleagues together. Tables and tickets during the festival can be reserved and purchased by calling (09) 631-1165 or emailing dining@alexandrapark.co.nz
For the lovers of harness racing, Top of the Park upstairs on Oaks Night will provide the perfect place to watch New Zealand’s best three-year-old fillies battle it out on the track in the Group One Pascoe The Jewellers Northern Oaks, with different buffet dining packages still available.
Derby Night is on Friday 10 March with the big race being the Group One Woodlands Stud Northern Derby. That night an array of beverage and dining packages are again available in both the Tasman Room and Top of the Park.
Derby Night will also see the annual Best Dressed At The Races competition for fashion-forward track-goers 18 years or over to enter. There will be three categories - Best Dressed Lady, Best Dressed Man and Best Headwear - with some amazing prizes on offer and one grand prize for the best dressed overall.
Best Dressed At the Races will see plenty of catwalk action in the Tasman Room, with further information about the competition on Alexandra Park’s Facebook page and website.
General admission into Alexandra Park as well as car-parking and race books remain free on both evenings. For further information on the 2017 Oaks & Derby Festival check out www.alexandrapark.co.nz
