The Greenwell Point Cup on Easter Sunday The Greenwell Point Cup was the brainchild of Roz Harvey from Terry Harvey Carpet Court. Roz wanted to have a race day that would connect with Greenwell Point after the success of the Nowra Cup and Mollymook Cup race days.

Traditionally held on Easter Sunday this is a great day to attract lots of locals and tourists to the races particularly for those wishing to experience an Easter Sunday with a difference.

Due to the fantastic sponsorship that Roz obtains for this race day the $25,000 Greenwell Point Cup is the second biggest race on the turf club season's

calendar. This prizemoney assists in attracting good quality trainers, horses and jockeys to the race course.

Patrons can book one of the many packages on offer, purchase food from our bistro operated by the Butterfactory or bring a picnic and sit on the lawn with family and friends whilst watching great racing and listening to live entertainment. There is also a jumping castle for the children.

Shoalhaven City Turf Club is the place to be for a great Easter Sunday.

Owners Cliff and Paulina Collier are extremely passionate about tea and have created a beautiful space to inspire customers to slow down, take time out and relax. They believe that tea is not just a beverage but a way of life - and a beautiful way of life it is! Tea is the perfect prescription for our busy world.

Paulina and Cliff have sourced their teas from artisan producers all around the world, who still use age-old traditions and techniques, and they are then blended by hand in Berry. As well as their exquisite range of teas you will find a gorgeous collection of teawares and accessories.

Floats, festivity and fireworks at Blessing of the Fleet Don’t miss Ulladulla’s spectacular annual Blessing of the Fleet Festival on Easter Sunday April 20, one of the biggest festivals on the South Coast.

The Festival Parade will start off the day at 11am with the wonderful imaginative floats carrying Ulladulla’s beautiful princesses accompanied by their princes. Each float is themed and the costuming of all the locals walking alongside each float is an amazing sight.

The Floats are led down the Princes Highway (which is closed to traffic for the day) by Father David Anthony and St Peter, patron saint of the fishermen, and the fishermen of Ulladulla all making the pilgrimage to the Harbour for the traditional Blessing Ceremony.

There will be entertainment on the main stage near the Civic Centre and also music down by the harbour foreshore. This year there will be a roving band, Hot Potato, who have been known to cause a severe case of happy fever. This horns and drums street band will bring New Orleans to Ulladulla.

Browse the many stalls that will surround the Civic Centre area and you won’t go hungry if you visit the food court on the grass or the eateries in the main street.

Kids should head to the Civic Centre

harbour foreshore in the afternoon.

This wonderful family fun filled day will culminate with the Circus performing at 4pm and then the spectacular fireworks at 6.30pm.

The Blessing of the Fleet is made possible by the proud support of many community businesses with the major sponsors being Coles Ulladulla and Shoalhaven City Council and is coordinated by the Rotary Club of Milton Ulladulla.
