Ladies and gents, it’s time to dust off those fascinators and shine those shoes for the race that stops a nation. On Tuesday November 6, glam it up this Melbourne Cup at Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise’s lavish Palm Springs-inspired extravaganza.

Settle in for an afternoon of deliciousness, with a mouth-watering two-course lunch, fun interactive food stations (including a fresh oyster station!) and a three-hour drinks package in the glamorous ballroom – hellooo Chandon.

Watch the big race live on the big screens and make a splash in the silent charity auction and charity sweeps. All proceeds from the day are going to Guide Dogs Queensland – and there will be dogs there on the day to help out with the prizes. Pups at the races? Yes please!

Bookings are essential.
