Pirate Party in the Courtyard by Clarence Valley Council

The Pirate Party in the Courtyard is a lively fundraiser hosted by Friends of Grafton Gallery on April 18, 2026, from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM at the Grafton Regional Gallery. Part of the popular Friends courtyard PLUNGE events, it features music by the band Where’s Paddy?, who perform an eclectic mix of Celtic and European tunes on accordion, bass, fiddle, and guitar, including sea shanties to get attendees singing and dancing. Food and drink are available to celebrate the gallery's beautiful courtyard, with proceeds supporting the 2027 JADA prize. Family tickets and child pricing make it accessible for all ages in a festive pirate-themed atmosphere.
