About Morphettville Racecourse

Morphettville Racecourse is the home of racing in Adelaide, spread over 25 hectares of gardens and wetlands on Morphett Road with the Adelaide Hills behind the track. Away from race days it runs as a function venue, with free parking for more than 1,000 cars and a tram stop close by. The Wolf Blass Event Centre holds the main function rooms. Its first-floor Morphett Room looks over the course and the hills, and the venue takes cocktail events for up to 1,200 guests, while The Lounge on the ground floor has its own bar and holds 400 standing or 150 at banquet tables. Smaller groups have plenty of choice. The Sportsbet Diva Bar adds a dance floor and an outdoor patio to 280 square metres of floor, the Leilani Room has a private terrace above the course, and the Terrace Bar on level 1 of the grandstand faces the winning post for 40 to 100 guests. The kitchen cooks modern menus around South Australian produce. Cocktail functions run on canapé packages from 30 minutes to three hours, and seated events choose two or three course set menus for lunch or dinner, with live food stations for crowds of 200 or more. Drinks run on Classic, Premium or Deluxe packages lasting one to five hours. Weddings, school formals and race day functions each have their own package kit, and one events team looks after every room through the year.
