The Great British Weekend

Transforming The Pig & Whistle into a brilliant British showcase. Expect traditional British fare, live music, cultural displays and a bustling vendor marketplace, right here on the Mornington Peninsula.

On the day: four tents pouring Guinness, gin, cheese and high tea. A classic car show on the Motor Lawn, roaming live music with no main stage and no set times, masterclasses in The Shed, and a proudly non-serious dog show. Kids activities and show bags. Best British Attire competition, red, white and blue, winner takes a $150 venue voucher.

Confirmed so far: Devil Bend Brewing, Lion Nathan pouring Guinness and Kilkenny, Bass & Flinders Distillery with a gin masterclass, Pacton Park with British butchery and a masterclass, Tallarida Winery with British cheese and wine pairing, The British Bulldog Club, and Magic Makeup World for face painting. More vendors to be announced.

Adult General Entry $35 (18+), includes a tote bag and tasting pint glass. Under-18s free, no ticket required. Tickets booked online, ticket arrives by email.

Gala Night on Saturday 24 October is a separate ticketed event, details coming soon.
