Imagine this: jaw-dropping views, epic show jumping, fabulous people, free-flowing pours of Ayrburn’s finest wines, and irresistible cuisine.

The Oliver Road Queenstown Showjumping Charity Lunch promises to deliver an unforgettable experience under the breathtaking mountain ranges of Queenstown.  The lunchtime entertainment includes the exhilarating Oliver Rd Luxury Real Estate Queenstown Classic Grand Prix as well as the adorable Itty Bitty Championship, showcasing upcoming junior talent.  In 2025, our VIP event raised $10,000 for the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.  With your support and attendance, we look forward to doing it again—this time for the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research.

A STATEMENT FROM OUR CHOSEN CHARITY

“Too many lives are lost to diseases we don’t yet understand. At the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research, we’re harnessing the power of the immune system to change that—developing smarter, safer treatments and paving the way for prevention and cures. As New Zealand’s world-class, independent biomedical research charity, we’re driven by one vision: a world where disease can be prevented, treated, and cured through the body’s own defences. Thank you for choosing Malaghan as the charity to support at your event—we’re truly honoured to be your chosen cause.”
