We’re excited to hold our 4th market for 2022! Lots of positive feedback has encouraged us to invite more than 20 stallholders to Heritage Reserve and The Coach House in the main street of Mt Torrens and offer you a chance to find unique Christmas gifts. Many regulars will be back with a great variety of products on sale including intricately made cards and Interior décor, mosaics and gemstone trees, candles, diffusers, skin products and photographic prints. 

A young man from Lenswood, born 101 years ago, will be remembered with a special presentation at Lobethal this November. The story of Hartley Graham Norton is one of remarkable achievement and tragic sorrow. Born and raised in Lenswood, Hartley was the youngest of 12 children.

The Lobethal Gardening Festival is set to become another great day of celebrating the well-being benefits of gardening on Sunday, November 6, 10am to 4pm. If you’re a gardener and enjoy having a peek at the creativity that’s unleashed in the backyards of Adelaide Hills gardens, this festival is for you! 

Despite a chilly start to the morning, the sun came out for a perfect day last weekend as the Mount Pleasant Farmers Market celebrated the beginning of Spring at the S.A. Spring Garden Festival, held annually in September. Returning to its original one-day format in 2022, around 3,500 garden lovers made the picturesque journey to Mount Pleasant in the Barossa Valley on Saturday, where the festival ran in conjunction with the weekly Mount Pleasant Farmers Market.

At only 17 years old, Ms Lucey Pfeiffer is quietly determined to fulfill her dream of becoming a physiotherapist so she can help children who have suffered serious injury to walk again. Ms Pfeiffer is pictured here with Dan Cregan MP (right) and Principal Bruce Oerman (left).

Rockleigh’s Marcus Truman (right) has been recognised for his significant contribution as a Country Fire Service (CFS) volunteer during the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfire season. Marcus, a Captain with the Rockleigh CFS Brigade, has been awarded the National Emergency Medal for six days of sustained service battling the Cudlee Creek Bushfires, which devastated the Adelaide Hills in December, 2019.
