Venue Addington Raceway, Christchurch

Looking for something easy, social, and a bit different this Wednesday? Addington’s got you covered.

Public entry is free, and the venue’s public areas are open to everyone, so you can head along, grab dinner, and settle in trackside with no pressure. Whether you’re coming for a few races or just a good feed with friends, it’s all part of the night.

This week, the Christchurch Night Noodle Markets bring an extra layer of energy on course, with a lineup of street food stalls serving up flavours from all over. It’s the kind of night where you can wander, try a few things, and catch the racing in between.

Under lights, with the crowd rolling in and the smell of food in the air, it’s a proper midweek reset. Casual, lively, and easy to enjoy.
