Melbourne Cup at QT Canberra

Event

It's Cup season at QT Canberra, and this year, your place has been reserved at the capital's most fashionable celebration.

Expect canapés you'd run in stilettos for and soirées to satisfy every kind of frill-seeker. Because this spring, it's all about the fashion.

From Capitol Bar & Grill to the sun-drenched deck, settle in. There's flavour on every plate, and cocktails poured with precision. Step into the spotlight for Fashions on the Field, where standout looks will be rewarded with bottles of Mumm and iconic Tom Dixon prize packs. A look worth showing off deserves something worth toasting to.

Your ticket includes a glass of Mumm Champagne on arrival, luxe pours that rival the outfits, roaming canapés and seasonal bites, access to Patrón, Aperol and Hendrick's Gin activations, live entertainment, and entry into Fashions on the Field.
