Morwell Rose Garden Festival - Saturday 7th November 2026
Showcasing the international award-winning Rose Garden in the heart of Morwell and celebrating the work of the Friends of the Rose Garden Volunteers, the Festival promises to be a blooming spectacle of colour and light for all ages. Explore the roses, take part in a range of free activities, treat your taste buds to a traditional Devonshire Tea at the CWA marquee or partake in retail therapy at the garden and market stalls. The festival’s favourite gardening guru, Costa Georgiadis will chat about all things gardening and sustainability.
