Why not join this lovely local initiative this coming Sunday? Local delicious treats supplied by Hurstbridge traders combined with live jazz and a picnic in the gorgeous grounds of Allwood House… what’s not to love?

🌿✨ Hurstbridge Village Picnic – Coming Up Soon! ✨🌿

Our Village Picnic is just around the corner on Sunday April 19th, and we can’t wait to see everyone wandering the main street, collecting gourmet goodies, and settling in at Allwood House Gardens for a beautiful afternoon.

The weather is forecast for 19° - perfect picnic weather ⛅💚🧺

If you haven’t grabbed your ticket yet, now’s the time — hampers for two are limited, and this is shaping up to be a gorgeous day out with:
• Delicious treats from our local traders
• Live music by the Hurstbridge Jazz Club
• A complimentary glass of Wedgetail Estate wine
• A relaxed picnic in the stunning Allwood gardens

Start at Hurstbridge Deli & Larder between 11am–12pm to collect your Boomerang Bag and map, then follow the trail through the Village to pick up all your picnic treasures.

Thank you to all the music lovers who came out to our final gig of the 25/26 series. Raleigh Williams and her band (Nathan Lions - keys, Adam Spiegel - bass) put on such a special show encompassing jazz, chanson, Brazilian, and even some classic rock interpreted in Raleigh’s warm and skilful style. Many stories were spun, many laughs were had. Thanks to Nillumbik Shire’s Community Development fund for supporting this series enabling affordable ticket prices and opportunities for emerging and established artists to connect and present.

We’re currently taking a break over Winter to get everything ready for the 26/27 series. Stay tuned for info when it comes out…

Thanks for supporting live jazz at our humble but special little club.

Musically,

Ryan
