Khandallah Picnic next Saturday

The Khandallah Park Picnic will take place on Saturday 25 February, not on 19 February as incorrectly stated in last week’s edition of the “Independent Herald”.

The “Independent Herald” apologises for this error.

This picnic has proved a hugely popular event in recent years, attracting droves of people. It had to be cancelled last year because of Covid, but returns for 2023.

Organised by the Onslow Community Residents Association (ORCA), the picnic will include free swimming at the Khandallah Pool, as well as free food.

The free food includes a sausage sizzle, corn fritters, pulled pork buns and cup cakes.

A variety of activities will also be available, including a treasure hunt, giant bubbles, a fancy dress parade, fun games and a photographic backdrop where people can take photos – ideally in their fancy dress costumes.

ORCA has organised the Khandallah Park Picnic in conjunction with the Khandallah Arts Theatre (KAT).

KAT will present its new show Robyn Hood and Her Merry Gals in conjunction with the picnic. Robyn Hood and Her Merry Gals will begin at 1:30pm.

Set in Sherwood Forest Robyn Hood and Her Merry Gals will feature a duel on a bridge and an archery contest, and the sheriff is the villain. However that is about as close as it gets to the traditional
