The Annual Burnside Retirement Village Fete and Garage Sale is back for the first time since COVID.

Residents have been working overtime to prepare the event for the community.

Event organiser Marlene Gorman said it will be a great opportunity for locals to get out and enjoy their weekend.

“This is the first Burnside Village Fete since the COVID era. Our residents are looking forward to the event as it is a highlight of the year getting things prepped and ready for the stalls,” she said.

“We have a great range of goods for sale. From the usual trash and treasure, including linen, collectibles, and electrical goods all tested and tagged.

“Our accessories stall has a variety of jewelry, bags, scarves and other nice things. Lots of garden decos, gnomes and pots.

“Our garden and plant stall is a treasure in itself, with many plants to choose from including small succulents and large mature plants ready for your garden or pot. And, we have a huge selection of CDs, records and books galore.

“Be quick for our home made cake stall, an all time fete favourite. We have a Devonshire tea area, sausage sizzle, dim sims, soft drinks – plenty to keep you well fed.

“Meet our residents and enjoy the ambience of our community centre and environment.”

Located at 16 Nicol Avenue, Burnside, the event is on Sunday, March 24 from 9am to 3pm.
