An Evening with Colonel Light
About
An Evening with Colonel Light at Bungala House, Yankalilla is set to be a sumptuous celebration of Colonel William Light’s decision for Adelaide’s location, and his visionary planning of the new colony. This event’s focus is in keeping with the 2025 SA History Festival theme of ‘Decisions’.Visitors will be invited to dress up in historical costumes: all sailors, pirates, wenches, fine ladies and gentlemen are welcome and there will be a special staging area where guests can, for fun, take selfies while dressed in their finery.
The event will start at 6pm on Thursday, 15 May, and combine theatre, music, a choir of voices, a raffle, a silent art auction, as well as food and drink, with some tantalising history and a bit of historical fiction. Two artworks are on offer via a silent auction and a raffle: one is a portrait of Colonel Light; the other a pencil (replica) drawing of the settlement in Adelaide. Proceeds from the raffle and auction will support refugee causes.
