Friday night COMMUNITY raffle

Our famous Friday night raffle is a night full of fun and a great way to support the local community!

Each Friday night from February through to November, locals and visitors gather together in the front bar to raise funds for local charities and community organisations. A hilarious evening where a $1 ticket will see you cheering as the winners are drawn. The tradition of the raffle is evident, as the host calls β€œre-draw” and the entirety of the bar sing the phrase along with her - it’s definitely not their first time here. 

The huge array of prizes, including the famous meat tray from The Daylesford Meat Co. is the intended appeal, but in reality, the opportunity to support local charities, have some good quality banter, and meet with friends, old and new, is what makes the famous Friday night raffle such a beloved tradition.
