About Thoroughbred Park
Thoroughbred Park is the racecourse of the Canberra Racing Club on Randwick Road in Lyneham. Away from race meetings, its grandstand rooms and grounds are hired out for functions of almost any size. The Owners and Trainers Lounge is a modern room for up to 150, with floor-to-ceiling glass and its own speaker system. The Silks Room takes 250 and opens to the grandstand and an outdoor area, while the Black Opal Room also holds 250. The Rich Reward Room suits banquets and cocktail events and has a private grandstand area. For a big crowd, the Winning Post Bar takes 500 guests standing, with access outside, and marquee spaces can be arranged on race days or other days. Catering is handled by an in-house chef who adapts the menu to each event. Room setups for conferences and presentations come with AV equipment and flexible layouts. The venue hosts weddings, Christmas parties, gala dinners, corporate dinners, training days and community events. Private race-day hospitality can also be arranged in a room on selected meeting days. The grounds have parking for well over 1,000 cars at no charge, and the site sits on the light rail line. The rooms look out across the track to the Brindabella and Majura ranges.

Amazing venue: lots of space both outdoor and undercover. The event and logistic team are very efficient, onboard and working hand in hand with customers to put together a good event.

Went there for the weekend's French Market. The atmosphere was fantastic 👌 Parking were bad though as there's too many people. Food stalls were reasonably good but a tad overpriced.
