Valentine’s Day doesn’t always have to mean candlelit tables and formal dinners.
This year, romance gets a breath of fresh air at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, where love meets the thrill of the racecourse for a Valentine’s celebration with a difference.
Hollywoodbets Durbanville invites couples, friends, and families to enjoy a laid-back day outdoors with live racing, entertainment, and plenty of charm. It’s the kind of date where comfort matters, laughter comes easily, and the atmosphere does most of the work.
- Guests can pre-book a picnic basket filled with delicious treats, including cheeses, preserves, cold meats, fresh baguettes, and a bottle of Protea Rosé. All of that, ready to enjoy on a picnic blanket in the shade while watching the horses thunder past, for just R350 per couple.
Picnic baskets can be pre-booked by emailing eventswc@racecoast.co.za, ensuring everything is perfectly prepared for a relaxed and romantic afternoon.
The day promises more than racing alone. With live entertainment, a mini market to browse, and a dedicated kids’ area, it’s designed to keep everyone entertained from start to finish. And for an extra Valentine’s touch, the first 200 ladies through the gates will be welcomed with a complimentary rose.
It’s Valentine’s Day done differently. Relaxed, scenic, and just a little unexpected. Whether it’s a romantic outing, a fun day with friends, or a countryside escape with someone special, Hollywoodbets Durbanville offers a memorable way to celebrate love beyond the usual script.
