Blue skies, sunshine-filled winter days, and good times waiting all weekend long.

There’s no better way to kick off the weekend than relaxing at the Pig & Whistle this Friday, especially with karaoke night bringing the fun after dark.

Then keep the weekend rolling with live music, great company, and the famous Sunday roast lunch to round it all off perfectly.

Winter in Bathurst is looking pretty good right now. So pop in, warm up around the pub fire, and have a weekend to remember!

See you soon.🐷

Steak made just the way you like it!

Choose your cut, we’ll braai it to perfection, and you finish it off with your favourite sides.

While we prepare your meal, sit back and relax to great live music.

What better way to spend your Wednesday night!

The next few months in Bathurst Village are full of fun! 🎉

We're kicking things off with a Meet and Greet at the Pig and Whistle on the 9th June, a great chance to meet your neighbours and connect with the community.

Then comes the magical Solstice Bagpiper up at the Toposcope, the Agricultural Museum Fundraising Auction and of course our beloved Christmas in July 2026 to wrap it all up in the most festive way possible.

There is never a dull moment in this village!

Bathurst, there is always something to do. 🐷🥃
