Melbourne Cup at Modus × Mark Hughes Foundation
Tuesday 3 November 2026 | From 12:00pm
Tickets: $25pp

LET’S BE HONEST.

Do you really want to spend $129 on a set-menu lunch for a race that’s over in about a minute?

Yeah. Neither do we.

So this year, we’re doing Melbourne Cup a little differently.

$25. All the fun. None of the fuss.

Dress up, round up the crew and settle in for a huge afternoon at Modus – cocktails flowing, canapés roaming, DJ going, the Cup live on the big screen and HEAPS of stuff to win.

And yep. It’s actually only $25.

SO, WHAT DOES $25 GET YOU?

Quite a lot, actually.

🍸 An EARP race-day cocktail on arrival
🍴 Roaming canapés to kick things off
🏇 The Cup LIVE & LOUD on the big screen
🎧 DJ all day – from first drink to last
👗 Fashions on the Field – dress up, win stuff
💸 Sweepstakes + lucky door giveaways
🪑 Dedicated seating – somewhere to land between drinks
🥂 PLUS book 10+ and we’ll shout the bubbles

Cocktail. Canapés. Racing. DJ. Prizes. Your own seat.

YOUR MELBOURNE CUP. YOUR WAY.

No three-course set menu. No alternate drop. No paying $129 for a lunch you probably would've swapped anyway.

Order what you actually want (from our exclusive Melbourne Cup menu), when you actually want it.

Grab some food. Get another round. Back a winner. Hit the dance floor. Wander between tables. Come back to your seat when your feet hurt.

It’s your Cup Day. Do it your way.

And if you're bringing 10 or more, we'll have a complimentary bottle of bubbles ready for the table. Because convincing the group chat to actually commit deserves a reward. 🥂

A SMALLER TICKET.
A BIGGER IMPACT.

Here’s the best bit.

$5 from every single $25 ticket sold goes directly to the Mark Hughes Foundation, supporting life-saving brain cancer research.

So a cheaper ticket doesn’t mean a smaller impact.

The more people we pack into Modus, the more we can give back.

Bring your mates. Bring the work crew. Bring the person who takes Fashions on the Field way too seriously.

Let’s fill the room and make Cup Day count.

Tuesday 3 November · From 12:00pm

Dress up. Back a winner. Win some stuff. Raise a glass. Do some good.

Melbourne Cup. Done the Modus way.
