Melbourne Cup Carnival 2025 – A Week to Remember

Melbourne Cup 2025

There’s nothing quite like Cup Week at Flemington — and this year, International Premier Events once again delivered an experience that truly embodied the spirit of the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

Across four extraordinary days — Derby Day, Melbourne Cup Day, Oaks Day, and Stakes Day — our guests enjoyed unrivalled access at the Absolute Winning Post, the most sought-after location on the track. From panoramic views of the home straight to the electric atmosphere of race day celebrations, every moment was curated for comfort, connection, and celebration.

Our guests indulged in gourmet dining, flowing French Champagne, and exclusive entertainment all while taking in the finest racing action in the country. The week was more than an event — it was an experience that captured the thrill, elegance, and camaraderie that defines the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

From the buzz of Derby Day to the colour and excitement of Stakes, we were proud to host clients and partners who made this year’s Carnival one to remember.

As we look ahead to 2026, the anticipation has already begun. With new enhancements, more immersive hospitality, and the same hallmark IPE service, next year promises to be even more exceptional.

Until then — thank you to all who joined us for an unforgettable Cup Week.
