THE REAL WAY TO GATHER
INDOOR OR OUTDOOR, IN SMALL OR LARGE GROUPS—MEET DIFFERENTLY, RIGHT HERE AT SPRING BAY MILL
When we picture the standard social gathering, we always see the same thing.
Long waits for food and drinks, overcrowded rooms, and spilled drinks. At Spring Bay Mill, we do gatherings differently. For us, a gathering isn’t just an excuse for a piss-up. We honour the true benefits of gatherings and value how they have always been, and hopefully always will be, a very important part of the human experience.
We see them as an opportunity for deeper connection and inspired creativity. We see them as an opportunity to make memories, not forget them.
So, choose a venue where you can actually connect with family and friends, outside in nature, roaming the grounds with those who matter. Whether it’s an intimate dinner for real conversation or a lively party with dancing and live music, Spring Bay Mill is the more interesting place to gather.
We make it interesting by giving you more to celebrate. It’s not just about turning 50 or 100; it’s about being part of a place committed to making our planet, and the people who live on it, better.
And ok, sometimes they are piss ups. But if you do wake up with a hangover, at least you can go outside to clear your head.
