Before you come

How to come

  • Just turn up. There is nothing to book.
  • Bring a picnic rug.
  • Bring a hat, sunscreen and water.
  • Come on foot if you can. The park is close to many homes.
Wet weather or a Total Fire Ban day: we move to our church at 53 Gardenia Street, Blackburn. We will decide by 1:00pm that day and post it here and on our Facebook page.

Sing along

Printed carol books will be handed out on the day. The words will be easy to follow, so you do not need to know them.

Keep going after the carols
