The Melbourne Cup is more than just a horse race, and at The Black Stag in Paraparaumu, it is set to be a full day out with mates, cold drinks, and big-screen excitement. Kicking off from 10:00 am on Tuesday, The Stag will be serving up a free lunch, running sweepstakes, and hosting a Best Dressed competition as part of its annual Cup Day party. With the race streaming live and loud, locals can enjoy the full Cup experience without leaving the coast.
