The final weekend of Winter in Bathurst is here, and The Greens on William is the place to be.
Wrapping up three weekends and two weeks of winter-themed celebrations, the much-loved Verto Brew & Bite series returns for two final sessions this Friday 18 July from 4pm to 9pm and Saturday 19 July from 12pm to 9pm.
Hosted at The Greens on William with a collective of independent Bathurst businesses, Brew & Bite has become a seasonal favourite — bringing together food trucks, local distillers and brewers, live music, markets and entertainment in one central, family-friendly location.
This weekend’s events will again showcase quality food and drink from around the region, with everything from gourmet eats to mulled wine and craft beer on offer. There’ll be amusement rides for the kids, market stalls to browse, and live music to set the tone into the evening.
The McDonald’s Ice Skating Rink, also located at The Greens on William, continues to be a major drawcard. Open daily right through to Sunday evening, the rink offers skating sessions across the day and night. A 15% discount is available on adult and kids tickets when you book during the 9am and 10am timeslots — simply use the code EARLYBIRD when booking online.
The winter program has seen strong support across all weekends, with the Bathurst community turning out in big numbers to enjoy the entertainment, food and atmosphere on offer.
Last weekend’s Reckless Western Winter, held at Reckless Brewing Co’s Piper Street venue, was a clear highlight — bringing three days of live music, local food and craft beverages to life in a relaxed outdoor setting.
Visitors enjoyed food from Black Crow Coffee, The Milbrey Café and Reckless’s Roadhouse kitchen, along with drinks from Bathurst Grange Distillery, Renzaglia Wines, Cosmo Brewing, Winburndale Wines and more. Entertainment included a reptile show, face painting, a mechanical bull ride, and the much-loved puppy parade on Sunday.
Reckless Brewing Co’s Jarrod Moore said the support was fantastic and the weekend delivered on all fronts. “It was one of our best weekends commercially, but more than that, it was great to see people coming together and having a good time,” he said.
With strong momentum heading into this weekend, The Greens on William is expected to host a big crowd for the final Brew & Bite sessions of the season.
Whether you’re skating early to grab a discount, sampling something new from a food truck, or relaxing with friends and a drink in hand, this weekend offers one last chance to enjoy the best of winter in Bathurst.
No bookings are required for Brew & Bite and entry is free.
