Party Activities in Southern Highlands

Party Activities: What to Consider

Highlands group activities lean towards making, tasting and wandering rather than adrenaline. A creative session in Bowral works as the centrepiece of a party, and the region's gardens, villages and cellar doors fill out the rest of the day.

Most activities run indoors, which helps on frosty or wet days when outdoor plans fall through.

How groups tend to use an activity:

Hens groups book a private class before a long lunch, then head on to a guesthouse
Work teams use a hands-on session as a relaxed team building afternoon instead of a seminar
Birthday parties for adults and children alike can take over a studio for a couple of hours
Christmas parties add a creative hour before dinner so the evening has a focus
Mixed-age family gatherings choose something seated that nobody needs experience for

Private sessions usually need a minimum group, often around 10, so confirm numbers early. Browse paint and sip classes or plan around a team building day.

Start with a morning session, then move to a long lunch in the same town
Book group transport if the day moves between villages
Leave a gap after lunch for a walk through a garden or main street

What to check when booking

The minimum number of guests for a private booking
Whether food and drinks are supplied or you bring your own

How long the session runs and what each guest takes home

Weather and season

Winter is a good time for indoor activities, when gardens are bare and mornings are icy
Spring and autumn suit pairing an indoor session with time outdoors among the trees
Summer afternoons stay mild, so a session can finish with drinks outside
