Melbourne Cup 2024 - Lunch, Live Music, Bubbly, Prizes, Film & Big Race on the Big Screen

Be met on arrival with a sparkling glass of bubbly, then sit in the garden to be serenaded with nostalgic songs you love from the incredible Michael Carpenter while you enjoy a generous Fisherman’s Basket Lunch filled with Poseidon’s treats! Then, into the Theatre for some mutual admiration of Melbourne Cup race hats, a little trivia, fun, and prizes before our hilarious Melbourne Cup film Down with Love!

This hilarious spoof on '60s comedies features to-die-for vintage style and couture frocks, with an incredible score filled with the retro aesthetic of the 60s perfectly portrayed. Starring Renée Zellweger as a hit author with her book about life without marriage, and Ewan McGregor as the ‘always gets what he wants’ good-looking journalist who is out to prove she will not live by her own principles. The music will have you beaming with happiness! With incredible songs from Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Judy Garland, and the singer this movie brought to the world’s attention—Michael Bublé!

This fun, happy film is perfect for Melbourne Cup Day with its fashions, love, and great music! Sweepstakes will run all day, and there will be much cheering, yelling, and general mayhem as the race runs to its champion-winning end on our big screen!

To complete the day, dessert, tea, and coffee will be served on the lawn after the race—a lovely time to relax and enjoy the sunshine!
