Events

Pizza nights & community events

When are the wood-fired pizza nights?

Pizza nights usually run on Saturday evenings, roughly every two months, from 4pm until sold out — a relaxed community evening that's been going since 2012. Dates and the full menu are announced on our Facebook page. Check our upcoming events for the next date.

Do I need to book for pizza night?

No booking needed — just turn up. Pizzas are served for a suggested donation (around $22 for favourites like Greek Chicken or Capricciosa). Beer and wine are available at the event, or you can BYO. Indoor seating is available when weather turns wet. Please leave dogs at home.

Can I host my own event at the hall?

Yes — the hall is available for private functions, workshops, meetings, and celebrations. Contact us for details on availability and pricing.

How do I propose a community event?

Get in touch with the volunteer committee. We're open to ideas that bring the community together — from markets and workshops to fundraisers and social gatherings.

Can I volunteer at pizza night?

Yes — and we'd love the help. Pizza night is all about people, and it takes a team to create the food and community spirit. Contact us or message us on Facebook if you'd like to volunteer.
