This year, the Melbourne Cup is on November the 7th. We can’t wait…
The Normanby Hotel has always been a go-to spot to watch the Melbourne Cup. The atmosphere in our beer garden is full of energy and excitement, with all eyes glued to the big screen TV. No spot is without a view! We also have a huge screen TV in our Public Bar at eye level so you feel even closer to the action. With TAB facilities on site, we have your betting needs covered. But get in touch with us soon because we do book out fully. Don’t miss out!
How many Melbourne Cup parties have you planned?
Melbourne Cup is one of my all time favourite events to plan. I’ve planned so many different types over the years, from full scale, ponies included parties, to smaller gatherings for horse racing nuts.
Why do you think the Normanby Hotel is such a popular place to watch the Melbourne Cup?
We go all out! Having the big screen TV in our outdoor beer garden is such a winner for watching the cup. Everyone can see the race, no matter where you are sitting or standing. We always have a full house, so the atmosphere is electric. And it’s such a friendly feeling in the pub, everyone has a good time.
We make our party unique and memorable too. Last year we had the cutest ponies welcoming people at the entrance and hosted by the most outrageous Drag Queen. Once we have the 2023 activities confirmed, we’ll let everyone know.
