Gordon's Bay
An annual late-November Christmas market in Gordon’s Bay, with stalls across craft, gifts, jewellery, toys, stationery and homeware. The on-site restaurant is part of the appeal, and the milk tart pancakes have become a reason regulars return.

A family day of horse rides, carnival games and live music in Malmesbury, run with and by the neurodivergent learners it’s raising funds for.
