Fashuns on the Field | Nup to the Cup Picnic

NUP TO THE CUP! OFFICIAL MELBOURNE CUP PROTEST!
Opposite Flemington racecourse on Cup Day.

Ladies, gentle persons and those beyond the binary..

Are you against the senseless torture of animals?
Do you tolerate certain kinds of sport?
Do you have a penchant for fashion?
And vehemently hate the Melbourne Cup?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then do we have the event for you!

For the 4th year literally running the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses and Tenfingerz are joining forces to bring you..

‘FASHUNS ON THE FIELD’

Bringing together two of Melbourne’s favourite past times – fashion and sport, we deliver to you a free alternative to the old ‘Race that stops a nation’, to say ‘NUP TO THE CUP!’

Come protest the Cup! And show regular racegoers what cruelty free fun looks like.

Come witness the fabulously fashionable competitors as they battle out for the grand prize or enter and compete for the grandest of prizes yourself!

It’s like school sports carnival but you’re an adult now and you can sit on the grass, with a drink in hand and watch people running round a track in their finest finery if you want to.

Protest starts 10am
Fashun races will happen from midday-4pm
The main event – THE HUMAN RACE – will be live streamed at the same time as the official Melbourne Cup.
4-6pm music + dancing + protest

To register to race:
eventbrite.com.au/e/76518188963
More info in pinned post on event discussion wall.
Cash prize to be won!

Drinks and a cruelty free picnic available for purchase.
All proceeds from the food and drinks sold go to CPR.

Dress up (but don’t feel obliged to)!

Family friendly!
Cruelty free!
BYO Picnic rug or chairs!
No fur! No leather jackets! No feathers! No meat lunches!
No cruelty!

🚆 Train instructions: Jump on the Cragieburn line and get off at Newmarket Station. It’s a short walk from there. Don’t follow where racegoers are heading! The racecourse stop is on the other side of the track, and stops in side the actual course.

🚊 Tram instructions: The 57 line has a stop right outside Newmarket Reserve. You won’t be able to miss us!

🚔 Parking: There is street parking nearby, but it will be busy. Allow extra time to travel due to racegoer traffic.

***Venue is wheelchair accessible. However it is on grass***
