As the nation grinds to a halt to watch the Melbourne Cup race on Tuesday, November 4th, the team at QT Port Douglas are inviting racegoers over for an afternoon of fun, frivolity and fundraising for the very deserving Children’s Hospital Foundations Australia.

QT's Estilo bar will host a cocktail lawn party for guests between noon and 2pm, sponsored by the official champagne of the Melbourne Cup Carnival, G.H. Mumm. 

Guests will receive a glass of G.H. Mumm champagne on arrival and enjoy the culinary delights of QT chefs, who will showcase the creativity and skill for which they are famed with a sumptuous array of gourmet canapé morsels. The Melbourne Cup Carnival will be screened all day on the big screen in Estilo, with prizes for best dressed stallions, fillys and mares up for grabs, alongside sweeps, lucky door prizes and fundraising raffles.

Post race guests can kick up their heels with musical entertainment on the deck and G.H Mumm specials throughout the afternoon.

Bookings are essential and can be made by contacting QT.
