AWC Staff Cocktail Party

As dusk settles...

Down tools for the week and treat your partner (+1) to an evening of elegance in classic surrounds as the day fades to dark.

Enjoy a drink on arrival, a selection of canapés, and a three piece ensemble playing music across the fire pits on the lawns. No agendas, just fine music, good food and some laughs in warm company.

After five, dress the part.

Join us and raise a glass from 6:30pm, Friday 25 September at Duntroon House.

Tickets close COB 16 September 2026 - Don't miss out!
