New Year’s Day Recovery Event at The Blackwood Hotel

Wednesday, 1 January 2026 | From 12pm
Location: Beer Garden & Bistro, The Blackwood Hotel – in the heart of the Wombat State Forest

Start 2026 the way it was meant to be — slow, sunny, and full of good vibes. Join us at The Blackwood Hotel’s New Year’s Day Recovery Party, a relaxed garden session designed to ease you into the new year with great food, drinks, and that signature Blackwood charm.

We’re setting the scene under our heritage-listed tree in the beer garden, with a paella tent cooking fresh plates all afternoon and icy drinks flowing from the bar. Expect laid-back beats, summer spritzes, cold beers, and the easy rhythm of a proper country pub afternoon.

Prefer to sit inside? Our bistro menu will be available for those after a classic dine-in experience.

This is not a ticketed event — normal bookings apply, and walk-ins are welcome.
Perfect for locals and visitors staying nearby over the New Year period. Please note, no shuttle buses will run on this day.
