C & G’s Guide – The Things We Love to Do in Summer
Summer in Bayside Melbourne is a magical time, filled with vibrant activities and stunning locations that make the most of the warm weather and beautiful surroundings. Here are some of our favourite things to do in summer -
Sunset Cinema at St Kilda Botanical Gardens
One of the highlights of summer evenings is the Sunset Cinema at the St Kilda Botanical Gardens. This outdoor cinema experience is perfect for movie lovers who enjoy watching films under the stars. With a variety of movies ranging from classics to new releases, there's something for everyone. The gardens provide a picturesque backdrop, and the event is fully licensed, offering a range of snacks and beverages. Don't forget to bring a blanket and settle in for a cozy night out.
Local Beaches and the Elwood Life Saving Club
Bayside Melbourne is renowned for its beautiful beaches, and Elwood Beach is a local favorite. The Elwood Life Saving Club plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of beachgoers while also offering a range of activities, including swimming, paddleboarding, and lifesaving courses. The club's history dates back to 1912, making it a cornerstone of the community and Chisholm & Gamon are proud to be a long-standing sponsor of the club. Whether you're looking to relax on the sand or get active in the water, Elwood Beach is the place to be.
Elwood Life Saving Club – A club for life
Port Melbourne Bowls Club
For a more laid-back but equally enjoyable activity, head to the Port Melbourne Bowls Club. Known to regulars as "Port Bowler," this club offers a fantastic lawn bowls experience. Whether you're a seasoned player or a complete novice, the club's welcoming atmosphere and well-maintained greens make it a great spot for socializing and enjoying the outdoors. The club also features a refurbished clubhouse with a bar and lounge area, perfect for unwinding after a game.
Elwood Community Market
The Elwood Community Market is a vibrant hub of activity, held bi-monthly at Elwood Primary School. This market is a treasure trove of unique finds, from handmade crafts and vintage goods to fresh produce and delicious food stalls. It's a great place to spend a Saturday morning, browsing the stalls, enjoying live music, and soaking up the community spirit. The market supports local vendors and is a fantastic way to connect with the community. Chisholm & Gamon have been a proud supporter of this market for many years now, and we look forward to seeing you at their first market of the new year on the first of March!
