How many photos are too many? đŸ€«

It was a pleasure to decorate The Cattle Shed for tours at yesterday’s SMOKE on the Water, winter food & wine festival at the Maydale Reserve.

Table centres were hydrangeas (thank you Graeme Eldridge), chrysanthemums from Craft for a Cause and cumquats from the Maydale Social Garden.

An eclectic mix of crockery, cutlery and glassware.

Taking bookings for 2025 now!

The Maydale Reserve venue has had a busy start to the year and some special moments captured, missed our socials!

So give it up for Hamish and Maddy Summerhayes who weren’t married in The Cattle Shed but Maydale Pavilion. They chose this venue because they have so many friends, The Cattle Shed was too small and like Maddy said, “we need a big dance floor!” So they got what they asked for!

This wedding was significant in more than one way 
you see, bride Maddy is the great granddaughter of Thomas McGennisken who donated a bushel of wheat for the Horsham Ag Society to build McGennisken Hall at the Horsham Showgrounds. This building was demolished a few years ago but the signage was kept by the family and the floorboards and anything salvageable has been repurposed by the Ag Society and others.

Once again last Saturday, guest numbers exceeded the boundaries of The Cattle Shed, so the Maydale Pavilion was the obvious choice, supported by The Stockmen’s Beer Garden for the wedding ceremony of the gorgeous Jas & Jake! Congratulations and best wishes on a beautiful future together as Mr & Mrs Brazendale. 💓

It’s not often we are in a position to capture the private moments of a wedding so please enjoy our photo gallery of their special day!

Last Saturday’s wedding wasn’t in The Cattle Shed because it isn’t big enough to cater for 250 people but we’ve inherited some of this furniture!

The Maydale Reserve (The Cattle Shed, Stable One and Maydale Pavilion) continues to lead the way in rustic wedding venues in regional Victoria.

Coming to The Cattle Shed on Sunday 25th February is our very own Gin Blending Masterclass which is part of the 150km Feast Food Truck & Wine Festival and Marketplace.

You can blend your own gin in our rustic shed and discover the herbs, orchard fruits, indigenous species and traditional botanicals used to make gin.

Explore the flavour components harnessed by distillation and enjoy the market outdoors for a hot minute, before tasting up to 15 individual distillations such as juniper, citrus, coffee, and pepperberry and deciding upon your own signature gin.

You will have the chance to build on the traditional blend of botanicals; you'll harness the scientist within as you use beakers and test-tubes to blend of your own gin and bottle it into one of Mrs Baker’s elegant apothecary-style bottles.

Drink a gin and tonic made from your own gin blend, and graze on a delicious grazing platter.

Your 'take home' bundle includes 200mL bottle of your own signature gin, a record of your gin components, plus a wonderfully illustrated booklet with botanical insights.

Here's some photos from last year's masterclass next door, in Stable One.

BOOK TODAY! Numbers are limited to 15. https://www.trybooking.com/COCJE

Birdsong at Stable One.

Seating for 80 guests for a wedding ceremony which, just over 12 months ago was a simple almost 80 year old, rarely used horse stable.

This venue is the setting for the 150km Feast on February 24 & 25. There’s now just two tables left for Dinner Under the Stars. Hop online and secure your seat at a table via https://www.trybooking.com/CGPXY

After a four week break, it’s been an absolutely huge week finishing at 10.30pm last night to get the final touches done around the grounds and in The Cattle Shed and Stable One for a wedding today.

The unexpected jungle from the unseasonal summer rains we were met with, was quite overwhelming. But thanks to Zac our after school superstar and our small team of volunteers from the workshop, in the garden, the community service program and one or two committee members from the Ag Society, we got the jobs done.

From fighting the weeds, mowing and edging the lawns, moving furniture to placing lots of ‘new’ rustic decor around the precinct, everything is looking pretty schmick again! ❀

Enjoy this gallery of photos.

Next week, you’ll see why Stable One is Horsham’s newest wedding ceremony venue!

Celebrating Theresa and her 80 years of life with family and friends in The Cattle Shed yesterday.

The versatility of our space at Maydale Reserve caters for wet weather, as the original plan was to have Theresa’s party in Stable One and on the lawns surrounding it, on a lovely summer afternoon. But no! Twenty five millimetres of rain fell and changed plans!

It was great to have Danny & Sam from Rightbank Brewing Society back in The Cattle Shed on Saturday night, as part of the Kannamaroo Festival.

Performing live was Ethan Conway, who enjoyed catching up with festival organisers throughout the night.

As always the fireworks by Northern Fireworks was spectacular with the weather providing an interesting twist of cloud in the atmosphere!

25/11/2023

We had a very special guest in The Cattle Shed last night
Ethan Conway (The Voice contestant in 2015 & 2022) joined the Kannamaroo Festival and was an absolute delight, performing live.

Thank you Ethan! We look forward to inviting you back to perform again at one of our events in the future.

Brides & grooms, if you’re looking for a singer, Ethan is your guy. He’s happy to travel from Melbourne for any occasion.

CONGRATULATIONS â€ïžđŸ„‚â€ïž TO THE NEWLYWEDS

Part two of our debut wedding ceremony on Saturday was a celebration of true love as this couple made the snap and wise decision the day before, to relocate their wedding ceremony to the seclusion of Stable One as gusty winds made their presence known!

With the red carpet rolled out, no wind was going to dampen this couple’s plans to live happily ever after.

Stable One didn’t disappoint!

Perfect for wedding ceremonies and intimate receptions. đŸ€Ž

Welcome to the 2023/24 wedding season and welcome to a new venue across the lawn from The Cattle Shed.

Stable One made its wedding ceremony debut on Saturday by default, as the forecast wind gusts changed plans for a couple, who called us Thursday night to see what sheltered places we had.

As it turned out, the forecast was right and so was this setting!

We’re delivering this story in two parts. Today we share the incredible setup results of Stable One at night.

Tomorrow we’ll share scenes of the ceremony and Stable One in daylight.

Small, intimate gatherings in The Cattle Shed can be created through the use of hessian curtains to section it off as seen at our final winter event before it transitions into the Makers Pavilion for the Horsham Show on September 23.

But when the call comes for 200 guests for a private celebration, The Maydale Pavilion is beginning to gain a reputation for its vibe. It’s all about the decor! đŸ€Ž

Happy 21st Kaleisha and happy 50th Bill. 🎉 Here’s cheers and best wishes for the future! đŸ„‚

So this happened today
.well it actually it was two years in the making! 😜

In June 2021 the Horsham Ag Society volunteers and contractors demolished some old buildings, dodging lockdowns here and there.

As a result, the floorboards from the former Len Hobbs Council Rooms were saved and after making a stunning door for the new office, the remaining boards stayed locked in storage until a few weeks ago.

I must gratefully acknowledge our workshop superstars Phil & Wes who have finished Stage 1 ‘to winter-proof’ The Cattle Shed, which in essence will always be a shed with chandeliers!

Our guests at this weekend’s 21st celebrations, will appreciate the improvement. It’s way better than shadecloth!!! đŸ€Ł

Don’t suppose you could rustle up a few of these cocktails Voddy & Vacay? They’re from the Wimmera Region Girl Guides savoury recipe book circa 1970’s. (I think the word ‘cocktails’ has a different meaning these days!)

We’ve missed having Sarah and her cocktail van the last 2 months BUT she’s back next month for SMOKE on the Water on Sunday, June 11th from 12noon.

Tickets are $10 online or $20 at the door. www.trybooking.com/chwuf

12/05/2023

If you’re looking for a cruisy Sunday afternoon vibe on the long weekend in June, we’ve got you covered next door to us!

Pull on your beanie, boots & coat and come down to the Maydale Reserve on the Wimmera River.

The ‘smoke’ and the ‘water’ is provided with fire drums, a bonfire, marshmallows for toasting and a smoked meat demonstration in the great outdoors overlooking the river.

Under the cover of the Maydale Pavilion there’ll be a smorgasbord of beautiful food, wine tasting, brewed beer, cocktails, pop up non alcoholic bar, mulled wine, live tunes and fun things for kids to do.

Tickets are online at www.trybooking.com/chwuf
