Platters are available for purchase in advance, when buying a full table.  You are also welcome to BYO food.  Platters must be pre-ordered before the 10th of May.  Drinks will be available for purchase over the bar on the night, no BYO alcohol due to liquor licence.

Tickets are available as a table of 8 or individual tickets can be purchased.  Please purchase your tickets through Trybooking by clicking the 'Buy Tickets' button below.

We are currently seeking donation items for table prizes, door prize and a raffle so we are keen to hear from any local businesses looking to get involved and help us make a difference.  Please contact Michelle on 0418 199 322 or e-mail admin@tinysparkswa.org.au for further information.
