Melbourne Social Club Christmas Day Lunch

  • Free
  • Activity

Enjoy Christmas with the Melbourne Social Club for a relaxed Christmas Day lunch under a shady tree and meet some new friends in Melbourne at Christmas.

Bring your own food and drinks, a picnic blanket, rug or chair, sunscreen and outdoor games equipment if you wish – a football to kick, a cricket bat and tennis ball. Bring food that you can have for yourself or share with others.

The group will be located under a shady tree directly opposite the NGV/Arts Centre tram stop on St Kilda Road – look for the Melbourne Social Club banner hanging from the tree in Queen Victoria Gardens. This Christmas Day event has been running for 19 years.
