Bask in the sunshine and enjoy a laid-back community BBQ in the beautiful surroundings of Rippon Lea Estate.

Join us on Sunday, 24 November, from 10.30am to 2.30pm, where the Carnegie Lions Club will be serving up a sausages sizzle for just $4.00 each until sold out (Vegetarian options available). Find a cozy spot under a shady tree or relax on the mansion veranda as you enjoy the atmosphere of the Estate.

For tennis lovers, Rippon Lea’s grass court will be open for free play from 10.30am to 2.30pm! Secure your 20-minute time slot by emailing ripponlea@nattrust.com.au — spaces are limited, and it’s first-come, first-served! Please arrive at the court 5 minutes early, as bookings may be forfeited if players are late. Each session accommodates up to 4 players, so bring friends or family to share in the fun.

Grass tennis balls are recommended for a perfect bounce and are available for purchase at the gatehouse. Rackets are also available for hire if needed.

Join us for a day of food, fun, and friendly competition — we can’t wait to see you on the court!

Proceeds from the BBQ support the work of the Carnegie Lions Club – a service club that supports the community with hands-on assistance & financial assistance.
