Torrens Valley Tourism

It’s hard yakka for our farmers right now with such dry conditions - there’s next to no green grass and many don’t remember it this bad.

My folks are feeding our sheep and cows around the clock, and we took Rupert out to see it in action.

Support our farmers as best you can because without them we’d be stuffed.

A MESSAGE FROM TOP OF THE TORRENS 🎭

We're thrilled to share the success of our recent 24hr Mystery Show fundraiser - "Portia's B&B," which, with just 24 hours for the cast and crew to prepare, raised an impressive $800 for the Mount Pleasant CFS. Thanks to the dedication of over 30 talented individuals, we pulled off a show that delighted audiences and supported a worthy cause.

🍅Now it's full steam ahead with our next play, 🍅A Bad Year For Tomatoes🍅 by John Patrick. Set in the small town of Beaver Haven in 1970s New England, this comedy revolves around Myra Marlowe's attempt to find peace and anonymity. However, her plans are thwarted by a cast of colorful characters, leading to hilarious mayhem and unexpected accusations of murder.🍅
🍅Directed by Steve Farrer 🍅
So join us for some laughs this July at the Mount Pleasant Soldier's Memorial Hall. As always there will be great raffle prizes, cabaret-style seating with tables of 6 (or more by arrangement), and tea, coffee, soft drinks and snacks from our canteen. Adult $25, Concession $20, Student $15. Tickets are available on our website tott-tg.com.au or call Helen on 0492 992 991.

Some history of the medieval fairs in Gumeracha and the Medieval and Rare Trades Festival hopefully will add to these posters with more.
❤️🔥

MEDIEVAL EVENT HISTORY ON DISPLAY ⚔️🔥

We found an amazing archive of festival an event posters from medieval events held at Gumeracha in the past years. Including badges, designs and posters every year since 2007.

Medieval has a rich history in Gumeracha, and the local community and town have collected an amazing range of items over the years. We look forward to showcasing it at next year’s event through a history stall.

We have also been speaking with Emerson and look forward to him creating some amazing artwork for us at the Medieval and Rare Trades Festival annually. As well as welcoming back the coordinators of the original children’s area at Gumeracha for 2025.

We look forward to seeing everyone annually on the first weekend in May, at Federation Park, Gumeracha in the beautiful Torrens Valley town of Gumeracha.

Thankyou to Events and Festivals Australia, SA Festival Hire, Torrens Valley Tourism, Gumeracha, Adelaide Hills Council, Gumeracha Football Club, and locals for all your support.

WATCH THIS SPACE 🥯❤️

Holy Mother of Bagels will be opening its doors over the Medieval and Rare Trades Festival weekend offering a range of tasty baked goods to patrons in and around Gumeracha for the two day festival.

This is a great example of local tourism and events providing the perfect environment for new and fun businesses to setup shop. ❤️

On Saturday 4th of May, our little shop will be open during the Gumeracha Medieval Fair 🎉

We will be open for pre-order pickups, some sweets, and perhaps some filter coffee. It’s a day to meet you all, the townspeople, and to get a feel for what this all could entail

We will only be baking a little more than what’s been ordered, so we anticipate that we will sell out fairly quickly. So if you’d like some bagels, head over to our website (link in bio) to secure a spot 😊

Come by for a chin wag! 🥯

MT PLEASANT MARKET ON TODAY

Here’s tomorrow’s stallholder list
(Better late than never today!)

⚠️ Please note there is a horse event at Talunga Recreation Park that we were unaware of. All gates will be open as normal but we’d advise using the Melrose Street Southern entrance of the park (the Birdwood end). Always adhere to Park speed restrictions as Talunga Park is a public space often being utilised by a number of different users at any one time. ⚠️

PROMOTING THE TORRENS VALLEY AREA 📣

Torrens Valley Tourism is designed to promote businesses, tourist attractions, local projects and coming events within the Torrens Valley. With the goal to promote them to a wider audience both locally and state wide. This will be done through a number of steps including:

✅ Sharing posts and news items from local pages.

✅ Promoting activations and businesses to wider audience through targeted advertising.

✅ Development of a business and tourism membership program.

✅ Creation of a Torrens Valley business directory available both online and in physical paperback.

✅ Annual calendar of events taking place in the Torrens Valley area.

✅ Development of a Torrens Valley tourism map.

Obviously this will take time, and our goal is to complete each of these items thoroughly to get the best results for the area, and the towns included in this beautiful region.

We will also be looking for locals to get involved and help us maintain and start our database of their towns businesses and attractions, so make sure to stay tuned if that sounds like something you can do.

22/04/2024

Torrens Valley Tourism is a new promotional initiative and board that promotes the Torrens Valley area stretching from Inglewood through to Mt Pleasant.

We look forward to promoting a range of great businesses, attractions and locals throughout the area through this page and the promotional material to come. 🙂
