Radford College Twilight Fete
By Mrs Monique Glavonjic, Community Engagement Manager
The Radford College Twilight Fete is almost here! Please take a moment to read these important updates before the big day.
Access to the College
Access to the College is not permitted on Fete day. Only approved stallholders, suppliers and volunteers will be permitted entry. Please follow the directions of our security staff stationed at the Haydon Drive and College Street entrances.
Parking and shuttle bus
Parking will be available at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), with a free shuttle bus service running to and from the College throughout the afternoon and evening. Please allow extra time for parking and travel.
Donations
Thank you to everyone who has contributed items for our stalls — your generosity makes a huge difference!
• Sweet and Sticky stall: Donations can be dropped off inside T.B. Millar Hall between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm on Fete day. Please ensure items are clearly labelled with ingredients and nut-free where possible.
• Plant stall: Donations of potted plants, herbs, and seedlings are most welcome. Please deliver these to the Plant stall area (outside T.B. Millar Hall) on Saturday morning before 12:00 pm.
Volunteers
Our volunteers are the heart of the fete! If you need assistance, look out for the friendly faces in pink vests — they will be happy to help. We are still seeking assistance across stalls from 6 pm. If you can allocate one hour of your time, it would be appreciated! Volunteers are what make this event a success!! Sign up here
Pre-sale wristbands
If you have not collected your food or ride wristbands from the College after purchasing online at the pre-sale price, you will still be able to collect your wristbands on Fete day. Please ensure that you provide proof of purchase.
Food wristbands
Food wristbands can be redeemed at the participating food stall on the day. Simply show your wristband when ordering a BBQ item, ELC Healthy Option item, ice cream, drink or game at lob-a choc. Food wristbands are not available on Fete day.
Ride wristbands
Ride wristbands and individual ride tokens will also be available to purchase on the day at the ticket marquee on J.A. Mackinnon Oval. The ride wristbands give you unlimited access to all rides and attractions on the day, this includes bubble soccer and the pony rides. Please refer to the rides & attractions available to check appropriate ages.
Pony rides
Given the warmer weather expected, we will be monitoring the welfare of the animals throughout the day. Pony rides may pause periodically to ensure the ponies get adequate rest and shade, this is likely to occur between 4:30 pm to 5 pm. Thank you for your understanding.
Payments
Cash and cashless (card) payments will be accepted at all stalls. Please bring small notes and coins where possible to help our volunteers with change.
Program and location map
A detailed site map is available on the Twilight Fete webpage and will also be displayed at key entry points around the campus. We encourage you to bookmark this page on your device for quick reference.
Student-led stalls
Please be sure to visit our student-led stalls located outside T.B. Millar Hall. These students are raising funds for a charity of their choice. We admire their commitment to raise awareness of the selected charities and the fun activities they have planned for our patrons.
First aid
St John’s Ambulance will be onsite and located in the Pavilion.
Security
Security staff will be present at both Haydon Drive and College Street entrances as well as overseeing our Beer Garden to manage access and ensure the safety of all attendees. Please follow their directions for everyone’s safety.
We can’t wait to celebrate a wonderful evening of community, food, rides, and fun with you all! Thank you for your incredible support, see you at the Radford College Twilight Fete!
