This Sunday, 20th October, food, drinks, family entertainment and activities will be held at Raes on Wategos and the Wategos Lawn in front of Raes between 11:00 am and 4:00pm.
As a celebration of their incredible 30 years providing luxury accommodation and food for our visitors plus raising funds and awareness for their partner charity – Flying Fox, Marty McCaig, Raes General Manager says,“This day of feasting and enjoying our beautiful part of Byron is our way of saying thank you to the Byron community that has been at the heart of Raes for the past three decades.”
Children’s activities, facilitated by the Flying Fox team, include a silent disco, giant Jenga, and ring toss. A funky daytime DJ set by Sammy KC will keep the energy up, and a silent auction will be held with items such as a custom Otis Carey artwork, a private dining experience with Raes Executive Chef Jason Saxby, a two-night stay at Raes, and a one-off furniture piece from MCM House.
Chef Jason Saxby and his team will be at the Traeger grills on the lawn serving dishes that include shellfish BBQ: split bay lobster, scallop in the shell, Ballina king prawn, whole local pink snapper BBQ with applewood, and meat BBQ featuring porchetta roll with hickory. Dishes start at $8. Additionally, Jason’s fried lobster roll, Raes’ infamous salt and vinegar fries, freshly shucked oysters, sashimi, and a selection of vegetarian dishes will be served, along with a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
A free shuttle will run between Byron Surf Club and Wategos and will depart every hour on the hour between 11:00am and 3:00pm from the Byron Surf Club on Bay Street, with the return service departing from Raes back to the Byron Surf Club at 12:45pm, 1:45pm, 2:45pm and 4:00pm.
