It is officially time to trade the puffer jacket for platform boots. 🪩✨

The world’s most authentic ABBA tribute is taking over The Goods Shed on Saturday, 4th of July

If you think this is just another pub cover band, think again. BABBA has been touring globally since 1994, and they are the only tribute band in the world to have actually performed for Benny Andersson himself. (If it's good enough for actual ABBA, it's good enough for us).

Expect spine-tingling harmonies, a phenomenal live band, Swedish accents, and a dancefloor that will absolutely go off.

The Details:
📅 When: Saturday, 4 July (7:30pm - 9:35pm)
📍 Where: The Goods Shed (Terminus Precinct, Soldiers Hill)
🎟️ Tickets: From $45.00 via the link in our bio!

Buninyong might be three degrees colder than the rest of Ballarat, but they make up for it with free mulled wine and world-class cinema. 🍷🎞️

is back on June 19 & 20, bringing an incredible lineup of acclaimed Australian and international films to the historic village.

But this isn't just about sitting in a dark room. It is a full-blown community weekender. Your Friday night ticket includes a complimentary retro supper (charcuterie boats this year!) and a hot mulled wine. On Saturday, you can stretch your legs with a free historic walk through the village, grab lunch at the local cafes, and cap it off with a massive 2-course Festival Dinner at The Shared Table.

👉 Swipe through for the ultimate festival itinerary.

The Highlights:
🎬 Friday Night: Opening with Wolfram + Retro Supper & Cocktails.
🎬 Saturday Matinees: An incredible run including Twiggy, Pasa Faho, and The Secret Agent.
🎬 The Grand Finale: The Festival Dinner followed by One to One: John & Yoko at 8pm.

Huge shoutout to the Buninyong & District Community Bank for presenting this local gem!
