Cocktails in the Yard

12th September 2026  |  Toganmain Woolshed

As the sun sets over the plains, the historic yards and woolshed will come alive with music, conversation and twilight atmosphere.

Celebrate a special evening at the historic Toganmain Woolshed with cocktails, canapés, live music and finger food in a unique outback setting.

The evening begins in the newly uncovered paved forcing yards outside the woolshed — hidden beneath dirt for many years and now revealed once again — before continuing inside the shed for live entertainment and supper.

Inspired by the historic shearing “cutout” — the traditional celebration marking the completion of shearing — Cocktails in the Yard reimagines that spirit for a new generation at Toganmain.

Open Day

From 10:00am to 3:00pm, visitors can enjoy:

  • Explore the historic woolshed
  • Market stalls
  • Historical displays
  • Food and refreshments

Evening event ticket holders are welcome to remain on site after 3:00pm.

  • Cocktails and canapés in the forcing yards
  • Live music inside the woolshed — featuring Velvet Sessions
  • Finger food throughout the evening
  • A unique atmosphere in one of Australia's great historic shearing sheds
Velvet Sessions — live music at Cocktails in the Yard

Dress for an elegant evening in a working woolshed setting - smart casual country attire encouraged. Please note that, due to the uneven surfaces and historic woolshed flooring, high heels and stilettos must not be worn. Boots and flat shoes only.
