3 Ravens & Thornbury Bowls Club Community Festival

Overview

Kick off your shoes and slather on the sunscreen because 3 Ravens and Thornbury Bowls Club are teaming up for another year of community fun and, of course, a good beer. This year's festival, running from 12–6pm on Sunday, November 3, includes a variety of outdoor activities and prize giveaways — all in the spirit of celebrating the start of summer. 

Throughout the afternoon, you can chow down on classic barbecue fare, and either join a casual game of free barefoot bowls or test your skills by entering the Bowl Off. For this competition, you'll fight it out with fellow bowlers to roll your ball closest to a 50c piece. Prizes will, of course, be up for grabs with this one. A stack of beer can games and kid-friendly activities will also be set up all over the club.

3 Ravens will be running the pop-up bar, pouring a range of their brews to thirsty players. To celebrate of the launch of its 86 Tram series, the brewery will also be running The Gigantic Raffle, which, true to its title, boasts some mighty big prizes. Enter for the chance to win merch like caps, t-shirts and stubby holders, bar vouchers, a nine-year Social Bowls Club membership, or even free beer for an entire year.

Entry to the festival is free, but you can also snag a $10 Golden Ticket, which includes entry to the Bowl Off and Gigantic Raffle as well as three cans of beer.
