Over 60 Years In The Making - Membrey's Open Day

FAQs

• Is it free?

• What time is it on?

  Sunday 13 December 2026, open to the public from 10am to 3pm.

• Where do I park?

  There will be designated parking areas. Please don’t park on the highway or in neighbouring businesses.

• Do I need to register every person?

  Please register your whole group in one order, including children, so our headcount is accurate. You can register up to 6 people per order.

  We’ll do our best to take walk-ups, but registered guests come first if we reach capacity. Walk-ups will be registered at the gate.

• What should I wear?

  Closed-in footwear is required for everyone, including children. This is a working heavy transport yard, and we can’t let anyone on site in thongs, sandals or Crocs. Bring a hat and sunscreen too, because the yard has little natural shade.

• Is it suitable for kids?

  Yes, it’s a family day. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times, and some areas will be fenced off for safety.

• What's on?

  Prime movers, floats and mobile cranes on display, a live crane demonstration at set times, supplier displays in the workshop, food trucks, coffee and kids’ activities.

• Will there be food and drink?

  Yes, food trucks and coffee will be on site. [Payment by card/cash with the vendors.] Free water stations are available.

• Can I bring animals?

  Unfortunately no animals are permitted.

• Is the site accessible?

  Most display areas are on flat sealed ground. Let us know at registration if you need assistance, and we’ll help plan your visit.

• Can I bring a pram?

  Yes, prams are welcome on the sealed areas.

• Are there toilets?

  Yes, toilets are available on site [including accessible facilities].

• Can I take photos?

  Yes, photos for personal use are welcome. Please follow staff directions near the crane demonstration and fenced areas. We’ll have a photographer on the day, and images may be used in Membrey’s communications.

• Can I buy an Open day t-shirt or hoody?

  Yes, official 60 Years in the Making merchandise will be on sale on the day, as well as many of our other merch items.

• What happens if the weather is bad?

  Light rain won’t stop the day. In severe weather, extreme heat or high fire danger, parts of the program may be changed or the event cancelled. We’ll confirm by 2pm Saturday 12 December by SMS and email, so please give a mobile number when you register. The event won’t be rescheduled to another date.

• Will there be a crane demonstration?

  Yes, at set times, weather permitting. It only goes ahead if conditions are safe, and the crane crew has the final say on the day.

• I can't make it anymore. What should I do?

  Please cancel through your Humanitix confirmation email or reply and let us know. That frees up your spot for someone on the waitlist.

• What will you do with my details?

  We’ll use your details only to manage your registration and site safety on the day. We won’t add you to any marketing list without asking.
