Melbourne Flemington Racecourse is one of the world's best-known horse racing venues and the home of the Melbourne Cup. The expansive complex combines Flemington's historic character with modern grandstands including The Grandstand, The Club Stand and Hill Stand, while its large event capacity makes it suitable for major race days and other large-scale events. Its long racing straight, landscaped grounds and grandstands designed for broad views across the track are among its defining features.
The racecourse experience is shaped by clear sightlines and a wide choice of spaces for different types of visitors. Alongside traditional grandstand seating, the venue offers restaurants, bars, dining areas and premium hospitality zones, with several upper levels providing panoramic views of the racecourse and the Melbourne skyline. Extensive outdoor areas around the track add to the distinctive atmosphere of a major racing event.
The venue is located at 448 Epsom Road, Flemington, Australia. The Main Gate can be approached via Flemington Drive, with the Flemington Drive/Epsom Road tram stop positioned directly outside the main entrance; selected on-site parking areas may also be available depending on the event.
