Waverley Racing Club

Welcome to Waverley Racing Club, nestled in the heart of Taranaki's picturesque landscape, where the thrill of horse racing intertwines with the warmth of community spirit. Established over a century ago, we have become more than just a racing club; we are a cherished institution that binds generations together. Our story began in the early 20th century, when visionaries saw potential in Taranaki's fertile plains and set forth to create an extraordinary gathering place for racing enthusiasts and casual observers alike. Today, we proudly host three spectacular race meetings each year, in November, July, and September, offering a unique blend of excitement, camaraderie, and the raw beauty of equine athleticism. But our charm isn't confined to the racetrack. We are a versatile venue that plays host to a myriad of events, from corporate functions under our grand marquees to intimate social gatherings. Our bars, spread across our expansive grounds, are well-stocked with refreshing beverages to quench your thirst on balmy summer afternoons or crisp autumn evenings. Our grandstands stand tall and proud, offering unparalleled views of the racecourse. Whether you choose to watch from the comfort of a plush seat or the invigorating open air, the sense of anticipation is palpable. And when the horses thunder past, it's an experience that leaves you breathless and eager for more. At Waverley Racing Club, we believe in creating unforgettable moments that bring people together. Our doors are always open to newcomers, and we welcome one and all to join us in our pursuit of excitement, camaraderie, and the simple joy of horse racing. So, whether you're a seasoned racetrack regular or a curious first-timer, we invite you to step into our world, where tradition meets innovation, and memories are forged that last a lifetime.
