Anzac Day Garden Party – A Tribute to Vera Lynn


Step back into the swing-time era for a relaxed and joyful Anzac Day afternoon in the garden. This special tribute to Dame Vera Lynn and the music of wartime Britain features local favourite Margaret O’Hanlon as Vera Lynn, joined by the magnificent Queenstown Party Orchestra – a 20–30 piece ensemble recreating the full, rich big band sound of the 1940s.


You'll reminisce to beloved classics like We’ll Meet Again, The White Cliffs of Dover, Lili Marlene and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, along with many other wartime favourites. A perfect way to pay tribute to the valour of the past.


Bring a picnic, a rug, a chaird, plenty of sunscreen and settle in for a festive, nostalgic and easy-going afternoon of music in a beautiful private garden setting. Parking provided onsite.



The concert runs from 2–4pm, making it the perfect way to gather after Anzac Day services.




Outdoors, welcoming and full of heart – everyone is invited to come along and share the music.
