Melbourne Cup Long Lunch 2026

TICKETS ARE NOW SOLD OUT!

You can still join us downstairs with the race live and loud on the big screen

There aren’t many Tuesdays that give you a reason to get dressed up, gather your favourite people and make a whole afternoon of lunch.

Melbourne Cup Day is one of them.

Join us upstairs at The Upperhouse, Royal Hotel Queanbeyan from 12pm on Tuesday 3 November for our Melbourne Cup Long Lunch.

We’ll start with a glass of sparkling on arrival before sitting down to a multi-course lunch. The races will be on the big screens throughout the afternoon, with an on-site TAB for those having a flutter.

And between races, The Wonder Twins will be playing live.

There will be sweepstakes to join in and prizes for our best-dressed guests, so Cup Day is still a good excuse to pull out the dress, suit or fascinator that’s been waiting for somewhere to go.

Whether you’re coming from Queanbeyan, Canberra or just looking for a good reason to make more of a Tuesday, everything is happening in one place upstairs at The Upperhouse.
