DUE TO EXTREME WEATHER THIS EVENT IS POSTPONED TO SATURDAY NOVEMBER, 22.
The unmistakable sound of bagpipes will echo through the vines once again as the Hunter Valley Highland Games returns to Saltire Estate, Lovedale, for a full day of Scottish heritage, athletic feats, and family fun. Set against the picturesque backdrop of one of Australia’s premier wine regions, this year’s event promises to be the biggest yet, with 11 Pipe Bands, traditional Highland dancing, the legendary Toss the Caber, and awe-inspiring Heavy Lifting competitions.
“This is more than just a sporting event,” said the organising committee. “It’s a powerful and joyful celebration of the Hunter Valley’s deep Scottish roots, with something for all generations.”
In addition to the thrilling athletic events, visitors will enjoy:
- A Jacobite re-enactment display
- Encounters with Highland Cows
- Jumping castles and face painting for the little ones
- Wine tasting at Saltire Estate winery
- Market stalls, Scottish crafts, and more surprises throughout the day
- Delicious food and coffee
Friendly dogs on leashes are welcome, and families are encouraged to arrive early to secure parking. With large crowds expected, visitors should bring a picnic rug or camp chair and settle in for a day steeped in Highland pride.
