While you’re here - NRL weekend

Why are you here in Mudgee?

Well, that’s easy - the NRL is back in Mudgee for its first game of 2026, kicking off with a pre-season clash between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and Manly Sea Eagles on February 22. For footy fans, this is why you’re visiting. But what about while you’re visiting?

The game is held on a Sunday at 4pm, the perfect excuse to make it a Mudgee Monday long weekend.

So what should you do while you’re here? We’ve got a few ideas to suit footy fans & the families & friends along for the ride…

While you’re here…

Get a taste of the good life: When it comes to wineries & breweries for friend groups & families alike, with wide open space to eat, drink & be merry, head to Small Batch Brewery & Lowe Family Wine Co.

For the big breakfast energy: Head to Millbrie for their farmer’s breakfast, packed with eggs, bacon, mushroom, chorizo & more - the best way to fuel up for a day of exploring Mudgee.

Sweating it out - not just for the players: When you’re looking to stretch your legs with the crew or the kids, take a walk around the Glen Willow walking track & Pump Track, which as a bonus gets you acquainted with the venue for the big game.

Recover like the pros: A sweat session in the saunas at Sense of Solis is the perfect way to relax your mind & muscles, with an accompanying ice bath for the brave.

Browse the best of Mudgee: On Saturday, head to Robertson Park for the monthly Farmers’ Market, where you’ll find an array of locally grown & made goods to enjoy.

While you’re here - stay here...
