Two big days at Flagstaff Hill
FLAGSTAFF Hill will be a hive of activity this weekend as visitors turn back time and immerse themselves in Warrnambool’s military past
Two big days of activities have been planned, giving visitors the chance to learn more about the Warrnambool Garrison with games, dress-ups, stories and songs ahead of a cannon firing.
On Saturday between 1pm and 3pm visitors will be able to immerse themselves in the town’s military past at the historical garrison fortifications.
There will be dress-ups and games for all ages, the Warrnambool City Band will perform songs connected to Warrnambool’s military history and the firing of the 80 pound cannon will also take place.
On Sunday, between 10am and 5pm, young ones are encouraged to take along their favourite teddies for a very special Teddy Bears Picnic.
“Bring your teddy into the village for a picnic lunch and a day filled with family-friendly fun and entertainment,” Mr Ansell said.
The day will feature live music, story telling, medical check-ups for teddies, meet and greets with the village bear, and craft sessions where participants will have the chance to make an outfit for their bear.
Tickets to Flagstaff Hill this weekend will be valid for two days – making it a great chance for families to enjoy two special days of activities for one entry fee.
