If there was ever a weekend to visit our sweet little historic village we reckon its this one. Some seriously iconic Wollombi type stuff is happening and you’d be hard pressed to not enjoy yourself quite frankly.

Friday night is Jam Session night at the Tavern. Bring an instrument or come down for a boogie. We have so much creative talent in our little valley!

Spend Saturday wandering the village shops, cafes, galleries and historical finds.

Sunday welcomes the much anticipated Wollombi Market Day back to the Cattle Yards from 8am. Come and find yourself some treasure, enjoy a sausage sizzle and support our local Pony Club & Tennis Club (they were absolutely flogged in the July floods - let’s help them get back on their feet). From 1pm on Sunday, the very talented Mackenzie Lee will be on stage at the Tavern and our Wood Fired Pizza oven will be serving up tasty pizza all afternoon.

And if all that wasn’t enough, we’ll have the Australian Open women's finals screening in the bar on Saturday, and the mens finals screening on Sunday.

If you’re looking for a spot to camp, check out Wattle Valley Farm & Cranky Rock. Both are a short drive from the village and have amazing facilities and sites. Photo by Rachael Thornton at our recent Woodchop showing a mix of valley locals and visitors enjoying the view from our back deck. It’s a stunner that’s for sure.
