Whether you're planning an elegant wedding, a vibrant cultural celebration, a milestone birthday, a conference, an inspiring exhibition, speaking event, or a heartfelt memorial - Riccarton Park is perfect to bring your event to life. Our function spaces welcome groups of 40 and up, while conferences can start from as few as 10 delegates. The modern Club Grandstand features 17 rooms over three levels, with WiFi throughout and views across our expansive grounds. With large exhibition areas and parking for 1,000+ vehicles make us an ideal choice for both private functions and large-scale public events and accommodation is just a short stroll across the road.

In addition, we offer two stunning standalone venues - each with its own character and charm. The Show Gate is our largest and most versatile space, ideal for grand celebrations and major events. The Tea House offers an intimate atmosphere with access to private gardens - perfect for weddings or relaxed gatherings. Both venues have dedicated car parking right outside, making access easy.

We’re proud of our exceptional food, friendly staff, and attention to detail—something our guests consistently rave about. At Riccarton Park, we’re here to make your event seamless, memorable, and completely your own.
