Who should attend:

Past attendees, new attendees and anyone one who loves Cake to Celebrate! It is our 50th Rural Women's Day and we all love a lunch we didn't cook ourselves, especially when the best catering team is joining us with good company! You can come on your own and we can help you meet others or bring your Mum, Daughter, Sister, Friends, Neighbours.

This is the best opportunity to get the "catch up" out of the group chat.

We welcome all ages, however those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Seating:

No reserved seating. Sit anywhere. We are all about connection and you just never know who you might get the opportunity to meet.

Things to note;

Most dietary requirements can be accommodated when advised at booking, with a minimum lead of three weeks prior to event. Photography will take place at all Rural Women's Day events for the purpose of promotion and social media use.

As we all know unexpected things can occur, our volunteers work incredibly hard to ensure all guests enjoy our events even if we need to make changes last minute.

Tickets are non-refundable however can be transferred and we asked you to let us know name changes by emailing ruralwomensday@gmail.com
