Birthday Party Venues in Singleton & Broke

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Town club or vineyard garden – that's the real choice for a birthday in this corner of the Hunter. Club Singleton is the bowling club in the centre of Singleton, on William Street, with an auditorium, a function room and greens. Krinklewood Estate is out on Wollombi Road at Broke, a small village among the Broke Fordwich vineyards, where an organic and biodynamic winery spreads across 150 acres of gardens.

How the two ends of the region compare for a party:

Budget: canapés at Club Singleton start From $20 per person, while Krinklewood's catering begins From $50 per person with woodfired pizza
Big numbers: Club Singleton's auditorium holds 180, or 260 seated with the function room joined; Krinklewood takes 10 to 250
Dancing: the auditorium has a stage, a dance floor and a sound system you can plug a playlist into
Outdoors: Krinklewood offers the Residence Lawn, the Pool and Loggia, the Citrus Garden and the Courtyard
Something to do: barefoot bowls can be booked on the Club Singleton greens

Locals and Upper Hunter families can treat either as an easy outing. For guests travelling in, Krinklewood's Dimensions X Farmstay has beds on the estate, and anyone heading out to the Broke vines should line up a driver or booked transport.

A 21st or 40th with a DJ: the auditorium's stage and dance floor, with TVs and a projector for photos
A smaller family party: the function room takes about 60
Room and drinks: room hire is charged per booking, and the bar runs on a set tab or on consumption
The cake: the kitchen does all the catering, and a birthday cake is the one thing you can bring

The wine: packages pour the estate's own drops alongside beer and soft drinks, charged hourly for at least three hours
