Valentine's Picnic

Bring a picnic and your loved one to soak up the romantic atmosphere in the beautiful gardens of the rambling Gothic mansion, situated on a rise above the contemporary shopping malls surrounding it.

Free entry to the gardens, normal house entry of $10 per adult applies.

There will be a cash bar and a band to provide the entertainment. Our Euro-Valentine’s Day band Nouvelle Voix, is the French version of popular VoxNova Gypsy jazz band founded by percussionist Alan MacDonald which performed a sold out concert at Alberton earlier this year.

Accompanied by VoxNova violinist Marika Balzat and accordionist Tracey Collins from another of Alan’s bands, Zydecosis, the band will set the perfect tone for a romantic celebration of Valentine’s Day.

More recently another of Alan’s bands Cajynx performed Louisiana style jazz at a market day. “Violin and accordion are both very romantic instruments especially in the hands of such great exponents. We look forward to transporting you away to Europe for the evening,” says Alan.
