The second jewel in the Summer Festival of Racing crown is here! The Sip & Shop feat. the World Sports Betting Cape Fillies Guineas is Cape Town’s essential summer blend, where the exhilaration of elite Grade 1 racing meets the indulgence of a high-end lifestyle market. Join us at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday, 06 December, for a day dedicated to style, flavour, and thrilling competition. This event is the perfect invitation to gather your friends, enjoy the finest local offerings, and experience the trackside atmosphere.
From the moment gates open at 11am, the venue transforms into a hub of activity. While the horses prepare for the prestigious Cape Fillies Guineas, take a walk through the curated Trackside Market. Browse unique ready-to-wear fashion, accessories, and beauty products, supporting the best of local creative businesses.
But the ‘Sip’ is just as important as the ‘Shop’. Treat your palate with an array of food trucks offering diverse culinary delights, and explore our sophisticated beverage options. We’re hosting special, limited wine tastings and decadent cake tastings from Château Gâteaux. Our remote bars offer local beers, gins, and dedicated Mixology Experiences – crafted cocktails are guaranteed to keep the summer mood flowing.
The soundtrack to your day will be provided by an exceptional line-up: DJ Carlo Rigs, the soulful sounds of Carla Stokes, and the acoustic brilliance of Liam Culbert. They’ll be setting the rhythm from midday right through to the final race. And yes, the whole family is welcome! We have a dedicated, supervised Kids’ Zone packed with activities, ensuring everyone, from toddlers to teens, has an unforgettable day.
