Nup to the Cup - Melbourne Cup Protest and Picnic

The Coalition for the Protection of Race Horses will be holding it's annual ' Say Nup to the Cup' picnic and protest in Flemington this Melbourne Cup public holiday.

This is a great way for those who don't want to support animal cruelty to still enjoy a celebration.

While those in the bird cage at Flemington Racecourse will be sipping on champagne and nibbling on canapes, Nup to the Cup attendees will do the same and will at the same time be drawing attention to the plight of racehorses who don't have a say.

When: Tuesday, November 1st

Where: Doc Root Reserve - Corner of Epsom Road and Racecourse Rd, Flemington

Dress code: Dress to impress

Cost: Free! BYO Drinks and food. Food and drinks will be available on the day for a small donation. Out of respect for all animals, CPR ask that attendees bring a plate of vegetarian food.
