It has been an integral part of the Donnybrook community right through from its inception. Donnybrook is a pleasant 2 hour drive from Perth and a lovely, quaint place to spend a few days with plenty of accommodation of various types.

Their next event is their famous Apple Festival and this will be held over the Easter weekend, so make sure you make your accommodation bookings as soon as possible - this is always a popular festival in the apple capital of Western Australia.

Some of the entertainment will include:
