Building on the success of 2022 & 2023, Willunga Jigsaw Mania is back in 2024 bigger and better than ever!
This year we are Jigsaw Maniacing over 2 days!!!!

Saturday afternoon - Teams of 4 compete on 500** or 1000** piece Ravensburger Jigsaw puzzles. Note the date and guess the theme of the Afternoon!
Sunday will see the solo** and pairs** speed competitions.

**See the specific WJM event for more details!

As always, there will be a jigsaw puzzle exchange, raffles, giant jigsaws on display and trading tables - there may even be a few 'extras' thrown in for good measure.

As the start of Willunga Jigsaw Mania 2024 falls on May the 4th, what else could we do but host a Star Wars themed puzzling event???
Think Cosplay, a brass band and awesome people in awesome costumes (yes that includes you) all banding together!
Gather your team of 4, bring your cheese platters and light sabers and use the force to complete your 500 piece Ravensburger jigsaw puzzle in under 2 hours.

This is a fun, inclusive event, unless you're a Storm Trooper, in which case, we'd rather you stayed at home!

Not just for the Springton folk; we would love to have the Mount Pleasant gardeners come along as well!

Open Gardens in Springton – Sunday 21 April

A number of the wonderful gardeners of Springton have again agreed to open their gardens for the day, to give you inspiration (or even just some hope in this long, dry summer) and an idea of what grows well around here. The gardens are a remarkable mix of native and cottage, rambling and structured, old and new(ish). If this summer has depressed you with too many plants dying at your place, walk around these gardens, talk to the gardeners and see what has (and what hasn’t) worked for them.

The Springton Hall on Graetz Terrace will open at 9.45am and for $10 (cash and card facilities available) get a wristband ‘ticket’, map and garden descriptions. Parking and public toilets alongside the Hall. Gardens open from 10am-4pm (Edenmae from 11am).

Visit the gardens in any order that takes your fancy, however two of the gardens are next door to one another on William Street, and there will be a coffee van outside! What a great way to start a Sunday stroll around Springton. Edenmae Cellar Door is also opening its garden, and offering a free glass of sparkling (white or red) or a free wine tasting to all ‘ticket’ holders. Come and enjoy the garden with a glass of something in hand.

Plants and seeds will also be for sale at the Hall; all things that have been grown in Springton and that do well here. Proceeds of the Open Garden Day and the plant sale support the Springton Progress Association.

Even if you don’t have time or inclination to visit inside any of the gardens, come and see the Hall and the plant sale. Voting forms for the Most Improved Garden competition will be available from the Hall as well (and can be returned to the Hall, Edenmae or the General Store).

Should be a great day.

Fun for all the family.

Come along and experience the best little rural show in South Australia!

Adults - $10

Children 7 to 15 - $5

Pensioners - $5
