Melbourne Cup 2022

Brisbane's iconic Regatta Hotel is the perfect place to celebrate Melbourne Cup this year and leads the field when it comes to celebrating the race that stops the nation, with three impressive race day packages to choose from. 

The hot ticket for race day at the Regatta is Level 2 Extravaganza. The soiree of the season kicks off at 12pm when the Regatta opens up its brand new Glenolive function space and heritage verandah to offer the most exclusive event the historic hotel has EVER hosted.

Guests will indulge in a deluxe 3-hour drinks package including Moet, Chandon, cocktails and premium spirits, served along with The Boatshed-inspired canapes and hors d’oeuvres, plus a pop-up food station, while listening to live music. 

Your Extravaganza ticket ($250pp) will gain you access to all areas of the hotel. However, if you don’t want to go anywhere, this package includes VIP TAB facilities on Level 2.

Meanwhile, the Level 1 Gala is guaranteed to be one the most coveted race day events in Brisbane. Guests will be greeted with a divine Roku Gin cocktail upon arrival, with Level 1 decked out in cherry blossoms, setting the tone for what will be an incredible 3 hours.

Your Gala ticket ($150pp) includes 3 hours of premium beverages such as basic spirits, wine and beer, as well as roaming canapes and a food station featuring an array of delicious fare.

Guests will have access to the whole of Level 1 which will include multiple bars, a DJ, and stunning views of the Brisbane River, with TVs throughout so you don't miss a minute of the race day action.

And last but not least, The Infamous Boatshed Luncheon is back! Get the gang together and giddy up, this Melbourne Cup race day event sells quickly every year and this year will be no different.

Celebrate Cup day in Regatta's award-winning restaurant The Boatshed with a sumptuous 3-course luncheon created by The Boatshed’s head chef, Lochlan Alexander, plus a 3-hour premium beverage package including basic spirits, wine and beer. Tickets to The Boatshed Luncheon cost $190pp.

Celebrations will be in full swing with extra TAB facilities, sweepstakes, and more throughout the day, and don't forget to dress to impress as there will be prizes for best dressed!
