Melbourne Cup at Employees Only
Tuesday 3 November · From 12pm

Melbourne Cup

Saddle up for an afternoon of elegance and excitement — Employees Only style. Big screen action, free-flowing canapés, electric energy, fashion moments worth a photo (or three). Whether you're here for the horses or the champagne, this is your excuse to dress up.

Roaming canapés served all day. No tables allocated — bring your best heels, not your laptop. Reservations essential to guarantee entry and complimentary canapés.
