Waimeha’s Melbourne Cup Carnival 2026 – 3rd November

Saddle up, team — the Waimeha Melbourne Cup is thundering down the straight and you do not want to be caught trotting behind the pack.

On Tuesday 3 November from 1pm for just $60 a head, you’ll be fed, entertained, and handed a cheeky drink to get your form looking race‑ready. Round up your work mates, your best mates, or that dark horse who’s always keen for a good time — everyone’s welcome in our winner’s circle.

We’re running a calcutta, a Best Dressed competition, and we’ve got sweepstakes that’ll have your heart racing.  The atmosphere will be faster than a favourite out of the gates.

Book your tickets online now, and if you’re planning to go the full distance, flick us an email at admin@waimehacamping.co.nz for accommodation — no need to pull up early.

Spots are limited, so don’t back a loser. Lock in your tickets before they bolt.
