Spring racing season is the perfect opportunity to dress up and enjoy the buzzing atmosphere of a trackside event! From Derby Day to Ladies Day and the Melbourne Cup, there are plenty of opportunities to host a spectacular spring racing celebration.
Whether you’re planning a corporate function at your office, a venue or in prime position at the racecourse, our beautiful range of furniture and decor can help you transform your event. So pop the champagne, and check out our favourite theming ideas and styling tips for the 2022 spring racing carnival below!
Cocktail set-ups are ideal for a relaxed spring racing event. We recommend using a mix of both high and low seating options to keep your guests comfortable. This will also add some variety and interest to the space.
You can create multiple break-out areas using our range of lounge packages, ottomans, high bars and stools and cafe tables and chairs. For larger groups of guests, consider adding some of our dining tables and chairs, or bench seats for a more relaxed feel.
If your event is taking place outdoors, don’t forget to add shade with some market umbrellas scattered throughout the space. Our white picket fencing can also be used to frame your space and create an authentic spring racing atmosphere!
The bar will be the hub of activity for your spring racing festivities, so we recommend making this stand out! Our round white wire bar is the perfect statement piece for large events, especially when paired with our decorative crystal glassware.
You can also combine 2 or 3 of our bars together to create one longer design, or use our 3-panel bars to add custom colours, signage or artwork. Tie the look together with a statement backdrop, some fresh spring flowers and a signature cocktail for the event!

Spring racing season is all about bold, vibrant colours. Be inspired by classic spring colours like blush pink, lilac and apricot, or go bold with shades like papaya and sky blue. Our colourful Havana collection and our Indie lounges are ideal for adding a pop of colour to your spring racing event.
You can also inject some bright spring colours through textiles like cushions and rugs, floral arrangements and statement signage.
