Show week at The Elmwood
All the fun of going to the races without any of the hassle at this iconic suburban tavern.
Cup & Show Week is made for getting dressed up, catching up with friends and making the most of a great Christchurch tradition. “We’re here for those people who want all the fun of the races without actually going,” says Sam Kumbaroff, owner of The Elmwood Trading Co. on Normans Road in Strowan. “As well as for the people who want to keep the party going after the races.”
With all the ingredients for a memorable get-together, whether you’re celebrating a winning day at the track, meeting friends for a drink or settling in for a long lunch or dinner, The Elmwood is a local venue where you can bring the whole group together. The welcoming atmosphere, generous spaces and garden bar make it easy to settle in and enjoy the occasion, while large screens mean you won’t have to miss the sporting action. Food and drinks are also firmly part of the experience, with a menu offering plenty of crowd-pleasing options and a wide selection behind the bar.
“We are offering a food, beverage and punting package for the Tuesday and Saturday of Cup Week. The package is $120 per person and more details can be found at our website, come and join us for a great day,” Sam says.
For Cup & Show Week, instead of rushing from one event to the next, find a place to pause, celebrate and enjoy being together. Whether you’re in your race-day finest or keeping things casual, The Elmwood is ready to welcome you. Book now, call 03 355 5345 or go to theelmwood.co.nz.
