The Infield
A versatile venue that brings sport, events and community together.
The infield of the velodrome is a standout venue for large-scale functions and events. Set at the heart of the track and surrounded by spectator seating, it offers a one-of-a-kind backdrop that immediately sets events apart.
Highly flexible in layout, the space can be styled to suit awards evenings, dinners, weddings, parties, celebrations and sporting events. Food trucks can be brought directly into the infield, and the area works well for expos, school holiday programmes and unique installations.
From University and corporate award dinners to the NZ CrossFit Championships, boxing and cycling events, music events, expos, weddings and community programmes, the infield has a strong track record of hosting memorable experiences of all kinds.
For all infield event inquiries, please email Lizzy at events@velodrome.nz.
