Since its humble beginnings in 1861, the Melbourne Cup has remained a constant in an ever-changing world. Through tears and triumphs, ‘the race that stops a nation™’ has cemented its position as a revered sporting, social and cultural event, that continues to play a significant role in defining Australia’s national identity. The Experience group is proud to offer an amazing hospitality package at the Carbine Marquee as well as accommodation and Experience Group Travel will help you organise flights.
Carbine Marquee
Picture a colourfully decorated marquee with a vibrant, festive atmosphere resting on the banks of the Maribyrnong River at the western end of Flemington Racecourse. Here you are greeted with a complimentary drink on arrival, followed by a delicious buffet lunch created by Epicure catering and afternoon tea refreshments. You can watch the racing from the comfort of the marquee on one of several television screens, or see it live from the seating area in the Lawn Stand just a short stroll away. In the courtyard you’ll have access to a bookmaker and tote facilities, as well as a relaxing outdoor seating area overlooking the river.
