For the second year, Henley House is bringing Melbourne Cup back to the beach.

After last year’s event sold out much faster than expected, we’re getting in early for 2026. On Tuesday November 3rd, our Seaview Room will once again become a springtime soireè overlooking Henley Beach, with fashion, flavour and all the Cup Day favourites taking centre stage. This year will carry the same spirit as last year - less about the racetrack, and more about a long lunch by the sea, where fashion, flavour and community take centre stage.

Guests will enjoy a three-course shared lunch, paired with a two-hour drinks package featuring spritzes, local wines and cold beers. There’ll be live music, a fashion show, goodie bags, sweeps, raffles, best dressed prizes and the race shown on the big screens.

Date: Tuesday November 3rd

Tickets: $165 per person

For groups looking for a more private celebration, our upstairs bar will also be available for exclusive Melbourne Cup parties, with TV hire and the option to explore a BBQ-style offering. To enquire about hiring the rooftop privately, please contact Racquel at hello@henleyhouse.com.au.
