Here are some of Nicky & the family’s favourite places and not-to-be-missed dates in and around Kurland this December:
- This is a date we always diarise because the atmosphere sets just the right tone for the season.
Carols By Candlelight, Central Beach: Friday 19 December 2025, 7pm – 9pm
- We love supporting the local markets in the area, especially if there are some last-minute gifts we need to buy. The kids love the vibe and excitement of the markets, and us adults love wandering around, sampling the local artisanal produce and supporting the arts and crafts.
Christmas Eve Market at Old Nick: Wednesday 17 December and 24 December 2025, 9am – 2pm
Plett Pop Up Christmas at Emily Moon River Lodge: Monday 22 December 2025 & Tuesday 23 December 2025, 9.30am – 4pm
- The Polo at Kurland’s Pavilion is of course a seasonal highlight that’s close to home, and close to our hearts.
International Plett Polo Match at Kurland Pavillion: Monday 29 December 2025
- As proud locals, trust us when we say you cannot go wrong when you order a delicious mozzarella and basil pizza at Newstead winery and pair it with a glass of their award-winning bubbles, Newstead’s Méthode Cap Classique Blanc de Blanc.
Newstead Wine Estate, Redford Road, The Crags, N2, Plett
- Stop for coffee at Beau de Jour Café at Bramon winery – and let yourself be lured by their delicious breakfasts and beautiful gift shop too!
