Shire Showcase & Sunset Drinks at Hunter Warbirds
Join local operators, venues, attractions, and business owners for a relaxed early-evening showcase at Hunter Warbirds. This informal networking event is a chance to meet the faces behind our region’s visitor economy, swap ideas, and explore opportunities to collaborate ahead of a big 2025–26 season.
Stroll the museum galleries after hours, chat with peers over sunset drinks, and hear a quick update on what’s new at Hunter Warbirds—including how we’re working with partners across the Upper Hunter to drive overnight visitation and grow the pie for everyone.
