Visit Ararat

Mini Makers Art Club is this Tuesday! Join us on Tuesday 2nd June at 11am to sing, read and make art! This month our book pick is 'Rainbow Days' by Margaret Hamilton and Anna Pignataro 🌈

Our monthly Mini Makers Art Club is designed especially for preschoolers and toddlers. Each session includes singing, story reading and a guided craft activity designed to develop creative expression and fine motor skills in a fun, inclusive and encouraging environment. At the end of each session, children will have created a lovely piece of art to take home and share proudly with their family! 🎨

Mini Makers is free, we warmly welcome new families and there is no need to book. Sessions are from 11am to 12pm.

The Perfect Backdrop for Conversation
Autumn golf often means quieter fairways, allowing you to enjoy the course a little more. Without the intensity of the summer heat or the pressure of a packed schedule, there is ample time to walk, talk, and actually catch up with the people who matter most. It’s the ultimate way to unplug from the world and reconnect with your favorite people amidst nature’s most beautiful show.

Botanical Gardens Week (18-24 May) is a national celebration highlighting the role of plants, conservation, and the wellbeing benefits of green spaces. To celebrate we have an exciting weekend planned at WAMA.
Saturday:
We’ll be serving toasted focaccias, including our Brie, Prosciutto and Caramelised Onion favourite, or a Roast Veg and Goats Cheese option (with a vegan version available). Join one of our in‑person guided garden tours and discover the stories behind our endemic plantings.
Sunday:
Enjoy a bowl of hearty soup included in your entry fee, and explore the gardens at your own pace with our self‑guided tour books.
Come celebrate the beauty of botanic gardens with us.

Starts Friday at 7.40pm
