BRIGIDFEST committee are delighted to announce that as Victorian Government restrictions around Covid-19 have eased, BrigidFest will go ahead as a live event. With The Celtic Club’s support, the lunch will be held at a new venue, the historic hotel, Batman’s Hill on Collins.
To ensure the viability of the event, we ask that you book early as the venue has a minimum booking and payment terms are more stringent than those we enjoyed at The Celtic Club.
Please be assured that if there are changes to Victorian Government restrictions and the event has to be cancelled, a full refund (less .50c of the booking fee) will be issued. If the numbers have to be reduced, those who booked first will be offered places and the balance of tickets will be refunded.
BrigidFest has always been a sell-out event and we know everyone is especially looking forward to celebrating together in 2021. Please book as soon as possible!
