By Chelsea Keim // Place Coorparoo

Giddyup! The Spring racing season is well underway with race days going off all over the nation.

Celebrating Australia’s most prestigious and thoroughbred race, Melbourne Cup, is essential (and a great excuse for a little fun on a school day).

Not sure where to celebrate? Never mind, we’ve done the hard work for you!

Here are three Melbourne Cup Events in Brisbane’s Southside to be seriously considered for your celebrations.

1. Factory 51 – Coorparoo

If you’re a Coorparoo local, Factory 51 is the place to be on Melbourne Cup day.

Prizes will be given out for best dressed, so ladies, get out those fascinators and gents, suit up to be in the running to win!

Serving up a delicious three course meal, you’ll be extremely satisfied while you watch the race on the big screen.

2. Billy Cart Kitchen - Annerley

Round up the troops, Billykart Kitchen is throwing a party you won't want to miss.

With a three hour unlimited drinks package, your favourite alcoholic beverage will be on the menu along with an indulgent three course lunch.

So let your hair down and enjoy a drink (or a few) with your friends while you enjoy the big race!

3. Carindale Hotel

There’s nothing better than getting handed a glass of bubbly when you arrive at an event.

Expect this if you decide to attend the Melbourne Cup Luncheon at The Carindale Hotel.

With prizes for best dressed being awarded, it’s essential to put on your best race day kit.

Ladies, a Myer makeup stand for touch ups throughout the luncheon is available - yipee!

With Chocolate Mousse Duo on the three course alternate menu - we’re sold by this one!
