With winter well and truly on its way, you’d be forgiven for wanting to retreat indoors this May. The Mornington Peninsula boasts a wide selection of venues and indoor events and for those willing to brave the elements, some outdoor events too. The outdoor markets have packed up their tents for the cooler months and the indoor markets come alive. Bands and performing artists are set to entertain intimate crowds at cozy bars and wineries across the Mornington Peninsula. Not to mention art shows and workshops galore. My pick for the month of May? Hands down, the weaving workshop with the clever Kate of The Little Beastie, which will have you set for the perfect craft to keep you hands warm all winter!
So go on, get out and see what’s happening on the Mornington Peninsula this May.
