Daytime Functions

Behind our Farmyard, we have a barbecue and picnic area that is fully grassed, open, sunny and perfect for large crowds or small groups.

  • This exclusive area can be cordoned off for your group at a cost of $138. For your own catering, we have a BBQ to hire for $50.

  • If an indoor space is better, hire the adjacent Willowbank Barn at a cost of $460. We recommend Tasteful Affairs for catering.

  • Discounted Reserve Entry prices are available for groups (see below chart).
