Melbourne Cup is on Tuesday, 5 November 2024
They say it is the race that stops a nation. Well, maybe it used to when it was run at around 2.45 pm (back in the day), but a 3 pm race time means school pick-up time for many and an interruption to those champagne focused festivities.
Just being a part of the Melbourne Cup hype is fun, and a great excuse to get together with a group of friends for lunch, gossip, and to show off your new fascinator.
We have put together a guide on Melbourne Cup In the Cove. We have so many options such as dining out, dining in and getting Melbourne cup ready and even places to go after the Melbourne Cup in Lane Cove.
ITC is aware that not all Lane Cove Locals embrace the Melbourne Cup and will be saying Nup To the Cup.

Getting Ready for the Race
Hairdressers
Make sure you book early at your hairdresser. Hairdressers are difficult to book at the moment as like the hospitality industry, they are struggling to hire staff which means they can offer fewer appointments.
