Where the Central Coast celebrates

Celebrations on the Central Coast follow the water and the hills. Pubs and restaurants at Avoca Beach, Umina Beach, Ettalong Beach and The Entrance take birthdays and work drinks close to the sand, while Gosford and Erina add a sailing club, an RSL events centre and two craft breweries. Inland, Peats Ridge, Mount White, Glenworth Valley and Kulnura hold a barn, a golf course ballroom and garden estates for weddings and bigger gatherings.

Groups fill the rest of the day with indoor drift karts at Tuggerah, mini golf at Lisarow, paintball in the bush at Kulnura and virtual reality at The Entrance, or slow it down with gin in Erina, single malt whisky at Wyong Creek and botanical wines in Holgate. DJs, live bands, a string quartet, karaoke jukeboxes, kids' entertainers, a community circus, an attended photobooth, a party bus and a white stretch limousine travel to every part of the coast, so the party can come to you.

Each listing on Party Hero shows what’s included, guest numbers and starting prices where the business publishes them, and your enquiry goes straight to the supplier – no booking fee added and no commission taken out of what you agree to pay. Compare a few by area or occasion, then send your details through.

How to plan a party on the Central Coast

Planning a Central Coast celebration comes down to a few choices: the area, the setting, what fills the day and how everyone gets around. Here’s the simple version – from choosing where to hold it through to confirming your date with each supplier.

  1. 1

    Choose your area

    Decide between the beach towns around Avoca, Umina and The Entrance, the pubs and clubs of Gosford, Erina and Wyong, or a hinterland estate at Peats Ridge or Mount White.

  2. 2

    Pick a setting or an activity

    Choose a pub function room, a waterfront restaurant, a brewery taproom or a garden venue – or build the day around karting, paintball, mini golf, a distillery tasting or an art workshop.

  3. 3

    Add the extras

    Book a DJ, a band, circus performers or an attended photobooth for the party itself, and a party bus or stretch limousine to move the group between stops.

  4. 4

    Enquire and lock in your date

    Send your event details straight to each supplier through Party Hero and confirm the booking directly with them.
