Flemington Racecourse

  • Entertainment

Flemington Racecourse is the best-known and oldest continuing metropolitan racecourse in Australia. A National Heritage-listed site, Flemington Racecourse is home to Australia’s premier horse race, the Melbourne Cup, run on the first Tuesday in November since 1861.

It is possible to visit Flemington any time of the year to admire the landscaped gardens, including the largest public rose garden in the Southern Hemisphere.

Visitors can also take a guided walking tour, as well as visit the Flemington Heritage Centre, a multimedia experience including artefacts from the Victoria Racing Club's archival collection that brings to life the history, drama, fashion, and excitement of racing at Flemington. The Flemington Heritage Centre is open weekdays by appointment.

The Customer Service Centre is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
