Psst... word from the speakeasy is that Sunday brunch is getting a little more scandalous.

Join us for the Bootlegger Brunch at the Whitton Malt House on Sunday 12 July, where Prohibition-era intrigue meets lakeside elegance.

Start with a glass of champagne on arrival, then settle in for a delicious buffet breakfast overlooking the water, surrounded by vintage charm, Art Deco style and a little 1920s mischief.

Want to make your morning even more marvellous? Add on one of two exclusive experiences:

🥃 The Hidden Still: Speakeasy Whisky Tasting
Descend into the cellar for a guided tasting of premium whiskies in an intimate speakeasy setting.

🍸 Cocktail Making Class
Shake, stir and sip your way through the classics in a hands-on cocktail workshop inspired by the golden age of entertaining.

Bookings are essential, so don’t leave it to chance, darling.

Take a Sunday stroll around Yanco on July 12 and keep the Deco weekend rolling with a little country charm, history and high tea.

Explore the Yanco Powerhouse Museum, a ride on the Yanco Miniature Trains, and indulge in the sparkling (and delicious!) at the Yanco Institute for the Dust and Diamonds High Tea.

If you’re a curious wanderer, vintage lover, or have a little adventurer, round up your crew and make a day out at Yanco part of your festival weekend.

It’s the perfect outing for the last day of the 2026 Australian Art Deco Festival.

It’s time to stop talking about it and start building!

The Soapbox Derby will be back at Chelmsford Place Festival on Saturday 11 July.

If your racing machine is still a loose idea, this is your reminder to get it moving.

Gather your friends, family, community group or sports team.

Design it. Build it. Make it fast, make it ridiculous, or make it look like it rolled straight out of the 1930s.

Just don’t leave it until the last minute!

Registration information is available on our website.

On your marks, get set. GO!

Behind the doors of The Wade Hotel, the lights are low, the spirits are smooth, and the stories are best told over a well-made drink.

The Wade Hotel is turning up the jazz-era charm with two indulgent Saturday sessions hosted by the experts from Hippo Co Canberra.

We start with “Cocktail Concoctions with Hippo Co”, a hands-on workshop where you’ll shake, stir and sip your way through the secrets of a great cocktail.

Then, as evening settles in, step upstairs for “The Wade Upstairs Speakeasy Session”, a guided whiskey and gin tasting with six premium pours, rich flavour notes, spirited tales and a generous charcuterie spread to match.

These sessions are limited, so round up your most charming accomplices and book your spot before the password changes.

The night is young, the glasses are clinking, and Circa 21 is calling. ✨🍸

As the Australian Art Deco Festival sweeps through Leeton, the party happens in true Deco style at Circa 21.

On Thursday 9 July, after the VIP Launch, settle in for an evening set from The Wild Tonics and let the music carry you well into the night.

Then on Friday 10 July, when the last dice have rolled at High Rollers at the Hydro, follow the glamour to the Circa 21 After Party.

Entry is free for both nights, the cocktails will be waiting, and yes, there’s even a late-night Friday party bus from the Hydro to Circa (but darlings, you’ll need to make sure you book your seat via the link in our bio!)

Three days. Two Nights. One town.

The Australian Art Deco Festival takes over Leeton in NSW from 10-12 July, and this unique Riverina event doesn’t do anything halfway.

Deco style that turns heads, live music that keeps you out longer than planned, daytime treats for all the senses, late nights wrapped up in a dash of mischief, and a calendar that fills up fast.

You’ll start with one event and somehow end up at five.

You’ll say you’re heading home early and immediately prove yourself wrong.

That’s the pace of this weekend.

If you like your weekends to be a little extra, lock it in.

Tickets on sale now.
