Te Hana Sparkling Melbourne Cup Day

Overview

If you can't make it to Flemington, and I presume I'm speaking to the wide majority when I say this, then Ellerslie Racecourse is the closest thing to actually being there. Whether you just like the party of the Melbourne Cup, enjoy the exquisite dining or are looking to impress your friends with your stylish swag, there's something on offer at Ellerslie.

The grounds will play host to ten horse races, live coverage from Melbourne, the Melbourne Cup Style Awards (of course), a raft of hospitality options and the famous Birdcage Bash after the last race – the day promises to be absolutely all go.

Depending on how you want to enjoy the day the following ticketing options are available:

General Admission - giving you access to all public lawn areas oncourse, at least one room within the Ellerslie Stand and covered grandstand seating in that stand.

Ascot Stand - For a great day at the races, the Ascot Stand is hard to beat. Experience fantastic views on the fifth floor or get up close to the action in The Winning Post on the ground floor.

Te Hana Sparkling Garden Party - Well, we all love a good garden party. Located on the Newmarket Lawn, hear the thunder of hooves as the horses race past you down the home straight on the way to the winning post - that's if you can hear the clip clop above the crowd! Social butterflies, this one is for you.

Champions Club - Wine and dine like a true champ. Located on the first floor of the Ellerslie Stand in the Great Northern Room and with access to covered grandstand seating, you won't miss a single trot of the day's racing action.

President's Suite - Enough said, anything named 'presidential suite' is always a win. With expansive views of the racetrack and its surrounds, enjoy wining & dining in style to the backdrop of racing from Ellerslie and Flemington.

Chairman's Club - The boss dog of ticketing options for the day. Perfect if you're looking for exceptional corporate entertaining, as serious kudos is part of the package. The Chairman's Club guests will enjoy superior facilities in one of the most premium locations oncourse.

Sort out those frocks and fascinators and cross fingers for sunshine, Ellerslie for Melbourne Cup will without a doubt be a true spectacle.
