Following on from the weekend, Bellbrae will continue their Sunday music sessions with a fabulous line-up of artist both local and international.

These sessions are free entry to enjoy the music as always. These are a great afternoons to meet friends in a relaxed family friendly space.

This Sunday will include Trash, The Precautions and Digby Ave from Belmont High School, while November 12 will see Canadian duo Twin Peaks perform graceful ballads and persuasive grooves; each one casting a charmingly subtle golden-age-of-country and classic-pop afterglow.

Bellbrae is also booking out fast for parties and celebrations, with the new marquee and facilities making Bellbrae Estate a great choice for any event.

Bookings are recommended for lunch or to secure a picnic table, otherwise picnic rugs and BYO chairs are welcome. Food can be pre-ordered.
