Children will have the rolling lawns, playground, tractor rides, face painting, water-balls, guided horse rides and target-shooting to keep them busy. While the sheep-shearing demonstration will be popular with both kids and adults.

After browsing through the market, visitors can relax in the shade under the trees while tucking into their eats from the market. Groote Post’s award-winning restaurant, Hilda’s Kitchen, will be open as usual, but please note that booking is essential.

Although pets are welcome – all dogs must be on a leash at all times.  Visitors arriving without their dogs on a leash will be given an option to buy one from the SPCA stall or hire one at the information stall.
