HUGE THANKS TO OUR
STALL HOLDERS
Thanks for being part of the Festival in the Park. There was such a great range of products, and nearly all "hand made", and services as well.
BANG - supporting local arts, crafts and small business.
Join Beachmere in Birthday Celebrations over TWO big weekends.
Beachmere celebrated its 150th Birthday in May 2020 and Beachmere Area Network Group’s Sesquicentenary Committee was busy organising events and activities to fill a fun weekend.
Covid restrictions meant a change of plans, and the celebrations and festivities have been postponed until May 2021.
Nearly three years in the planning, it has been rebranded as the Back to Beachmere Celebrations and the program was held over two weekends and included:
-
Gala Opening and launch of Beachmere Then and Now Exhibition
-
High Tea
-
Free Festival in the Park
-
“Wrap” Party with raffle draws & Silent Auction
-
Sandgarden Photographic Competition.
You can still order the book "Beachmere Then and Now" and all the merchandise through our website or email. Order forms are also available around town and from the Beachmere Hub in Main Street.
Photos are being added to the Gallery below regularly.
We hope you enjoyed the Back to Beachmere events.
