The White Room After Party, renowned as one of the hottest tickets in horseracing, will kick off shortly after racing with London based DJ, Kingston Rhythm. The White Room will incorporate the racecourse’s newly refurbished bar areas in the Hampshire Stand, the Wine Cellar, the Moet and Chandon Champagne Hall, as well as a 'chillout zone' in the 1905 Cocktail Bar.
The 1905 Cocktail Bar, located on first floor of the Hampshire Stand, will feature mixologists who will be conjuring up a range of cocktails including Hennessy’s Horse’s Neck, Fine Filly and Black Beauty.
The charming Wine Cellar, a hideaway adorned with luxury leather armchairs will feature an impressive wine list compiled with Berry Bros in the style of a traditional gentlemen’s club. Lined with traditional wooden paneling, the Wine Cellar also boasts The Pantry - an exclusive light bite menu of paté and a variety of cheeses.
The Moet & Chandon Champagne Hall provides ultra-sophisticated, jet-set glamour that is inspired by the celebrated Royal Albert Hall champagne bar. Tastefully decorated in timeless monochrome and gold tones, the Champagne Hall features a stylish pebble-clad seafood bar, as well as modern widescreen televisions to keep guests in the loop with action on the course.
The three new bars will be open across the three days of the Sportingbet Winter Festival, offering a range of exclusive areas for racegoers to relax in between races before being transformed into the White Room on the Saturday.
Nicky Hares, Newbury Racecourse Interim Marketing and PR Manager said: 'The White Room After Party is back by popular demand. Hennessy Gold Cup Day is one of the ‘don’t miss’ events of the winter social, fashion and sporting scene and we want to welcome racegoers to celebrate what we expect to be a fantastic day of Jump racing".
Last year, celebrities that attended the Sportingbet Winter Festival on Hennessy Gold Cup Day included lead singer from the Noisettes Shingai Shoniwa, super model Jerry Hall and actress Neve Campbell.
