A crisp midwinter weekend awaits in the Adelaide Hills — cold enough for a beanie and a good excuse to warm up by a campfire, cellar door or cosy studio. June in the Hills brings misty mornings, short days and the kind of atmospheric cool that makes the region feel its most romantic. Here's what's on this Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday 27 June
Flameboree – The Record Breaking Campfire
Woodhouse, Piccadilly | $25 | 12pm–9pm | ⚠️ NOW SOLD OUT
South Australia's most spectacular winter event is happening this Saturday at Woodhouse Activity Centre in Piccadilly — and it's a world record attempt. Two thousand people will gather around one enormous campfire for live music from 2pm, a torch procession at 5:15pm, and a simultaneous marshmallow roast at 6:30pm. Gates open at noon; tickets were $25 per person or $75 for a group of four.
Flameboree is completely sold out — check for any last-minute releases, or simply drive through the Hills at dusk and look for the glow. This is the kind of event that defines a winter in Adelaide.

Something Different This Weekend
If you can only pick one experience this winter weekend, make it Flameboree at Woodhouse — South Australia's biggest campfire, a world record attempt, live music under the stars and 2,000 people gathered around the flames with marshmallows. Tickets are sold out, but if you're lucky enough to have one, don't miss the torch procession at 5:15pm. It promises to be one of those evenings you'll still be talking about years from now.
Staying at Funday Farm this weekend? You're perfectly positioned to explore all of the above from our doorstep in the Adelaide Hills. We hope you have a wonderful, cosy winter weekend.
