Many people rarely bet on horse racing but will go out for lunch to celebrate the Melbourne Cup.



It is possibly not for the actual horse racing, but more for the general comradeship, and glitz and glamour associated with this great race, that people go to this group lunch. It is an excuse to catch up with friends and have the odd champagne or two, or perhaps three?

[b]ABOUT THE MELBOURNE CUP**
The Melbourne Cup was first run in 1861 with 17 runners. This was quite an eventful race with one horse bolting even before the race began, and three horses falling during the actual race. The Cup was won by a horse named Archer. The owner of this horse won 170 pounds and a gold watch, and it is said that the horse had to walk over 500 miles from New South Wales to Victoria in order to race.

Ever since that first day, the Melbourne Cup has kept on getting bigger, displaying more exotic fashions and just more fun! This year the total prize money in the Melbourne Cup will be $6,200,000.



The Cup is always held on the first Tuesday in November, and indeed, it is a public holiday in Victoria.

PARENTS & PRAM EVENT
Now, you do not have to miss out just because you have young children and have nowhere to leave them on Melbourne Cup Day. You too can attend a Melbourne Cup Lunch with baby and pram.



The Atrium Garden Restaurant is putting on this event this year and there will be things to keep your children busy while you are enjoying a delicious buffet lunch and perhaps even sipping a glass of champagne on arrival.

The food caters for children as well, with "lolly jars" and more. You can view the whole menu here.



This is the race that "stops the nation" as we all sit glued to our radios or television, regardless of where we are. Of course, here in Perth, due to the time difference, and as we do not have daylight savings, the main race will be run at 12 pm, which coincides with Melbourne's 3 pm start.

There will naturally be a live coverage of the big race on multiple screens throughout the restaurant. From the Atrium Garden Restaurant's Parents & Prams Melbourne Cup event, the Fremantle TAB is just a few minutes away, so you can also place a bet or two on this great race. Who knows? You could make your family fortune if you pick correctly.



And what a good idea to go out shopping for you AND your children for that next cute or zany Melbourne cup outfit, as well as a stunning hat to match.

  • buffet lunch
  • glass of sparkling on arrival for adults
  • kid's activities
