Entertainment and elegance
WINX Wonderland is an immersive event space that transports guests from an Australian summer evening to a fantastical world inspired by icy winterscapes from faraway lands. Ending the year on a high, this event will bring a sense of celebration, drama, entertainment and elegance in a way that caters to a broad audience.
Entertainment is designed to be layered throughout the evening, popping up on micro stages throughout the space and including aerialists, contortionists, statues, a DJ, sax player and a full party band performances.

The styling will be powerful, backed with a bold lighting design. The expansive space will have a strong impact from the moment guests enter, with silver metallic surfaces bouncing from floor to ceiling, teamed with overhead lighting features softened with curved white and beige furnishings.
Keeping with the evolving experience, food and beverage stations pop up throughout the event, from live chef stations, a sushi train, live oyster shuckers and roving canapes. Guests will not be leaving hungry – and that includes our vegetarian, vegan, gluten intolerant friends.
Broad audience, maximum impact
"Large-scale corporate Christmas parties are tricky to get right. You really need to create an experience which caters for a very broad audience," says Kelly Lewis, Managing Director at Flying Ruby Events.

"You need to think through the finer details. Multiple diets need to be catered for in your food offering; non-alcoholic beverages are just as important as alcoholic offerings; you need to create various spaces for different engagement levels; create moments to share, create moments to entertain, create surprise and delightful moments which evolve so guests stay for the entire night. This has all been meticulously planned for you in our development phase for WINX Wonderland."
World-class collaboration
The event is a collaboration between the Australian Turf Club and Flying Ruby Events, the perfect relationship bringing together a world-class venue in Royal Randwick’s WINX Stand and an event management agency with over 13 years of experience in producing large-scale events in the corporate space.
"We have worked with Royal Randwick for many years and are truly excited to transform the WINX Stand into a beautifully styled and interactive end of year celebration," Lewis says.
"The space has expansive ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, giving us an amazing space to work in. Their food and beverage team are always pushing boundaries to offer the best solutions, and what we have created together for WINX Wonderland is truly an event your staff won’t forget."
