The Grandstand
The Grandstand is now exquisitely restored to protect its history and bring it up to modern standards.
The much loved Grandstand of Cambridge has had four different homes over its life. Originally built at the Cambridge Raceway in 1878, it was subsequently moved to the Claudelands race track in 1887 before being moved again in 1926. When the Claudelands track was closed the decision was taken to preserve the history of the Grandstand by moving it across the park to its present site and to refurbish it as a function centre.
The Grandstand is now exquisitely restored to protect its history and bring it up to modern standards. The exterior timber weatherboards are finished in Environmental Choice approved Resene Sonyx 101 waterborne semi-gloss tinted to a heritage colour palette of Resene Barley White (warm yellow), Resene Zinc White (green off-white), Resene Ivy Green (deep green) and Resene Mid Green (strong green).
An authentic heritage setting with a grandstand seated capacity of 450 and a function centre seating 100, it is now well used by local organisations combining cuisine and entertainment set against the panoramic view of Claudelands Park.
