Kicking off at 6:30pm (gates open 5pm), guests can roll out a picnic rug and soak up tunes by Jukebox Live – a live musical tribute to the greats of the 50s, 60s and 70s – and Fantastic Five, who’ll take you back to the sensational 60s.
Food and drink stalls including a BBQ, ice cream stand and crepes, will be on hand to fill your bellies, and face painting’s available for the kids.
Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased on the gate or in advance at Sam Duluk MP’s office, Blackwood Pharmacy or Lions Bargain Centre (Shepherds Hill Road, Saturday mornings only).
Rope in your family and friends for a fun and relaxing night out in beautiful botanic surrounds. See you there!
