Response 19 Blockhouse Bay Picnics And Produce

Imagine a time when Blockhouse Bay was filled with the scent of fresh strawberries and ripening tomatoes.

Mary Marshall from the Blockhouse Bay Historical Society invites you on a journey into our local past, sharing tales of early 20-century beach picnics, pioneering storefronts, and the hardworking market gardeners who helped shape the community we know today.

Come along to connect with the heritage of the area and enjoy a chat with neighbours over refreshments after the talk. We look forward to welcoming you.
