Live Music in the Beer Garden
Brendan the Bard | 2pm – 5pm
From 2pm, Brendan the Bard brings acoustic favourites and laid-back energy to the Beer Garden.
It’s the perfect Easter Sunday soundtrack — relaxed, feel-good and ideal for long lunches with friends and family.
Stretch out under the trees, order a drink and let the afternoon roll.
Toad Racing from 3pm
The Race That Stops the Dragon
