Nup to the Cup! Northern Beaches lunch

We want to showcase pokies-free local venues that say no to gambling harm, and the legends at 7th Day Brewery were a perfect fit.

Melbourne Cup day is the worst of gambling culture, with over $214m spent on wagering last year, or an average of $88 per person. It also carries concerns about animal welfare, as seven horses have died on Cup day since 2013.

We're organising live music, fun and games, as well as tasty pizza for a fun and friendly lunch. We hope to see you there!

You can either pre-purchase a lunch ticket, which includes tasty pizza for lunch and a donation to Lifeline Northern Beaches who provide mental health and financial counselling services, and to the Kind Farm Horse Rescue that rescues horses from slaughter or injury from the racing industry.

You can alternatively register for a free ticket and make a donation on the door to our charities if you are in a position to do so.

Other meals and drinks will be available for purchase at the event.
