BS 2024 Pilgrimage

Kenilworth is a small country town in the heart of the stunning Mary Valley surrounded by lush, green countryside.  It is only a 90-minute drive north from Brisbane and 50 minutes from the Sunshine Coast.

Kenilworth is full of history, with the General Store (now Kenilworth Bakery) opening in 1924, and the Kenilworth Hotel in November 1939.

We will have a great selection of walks in and around the surrounding areas, plus a social walk around town finishing at the famous cheese factory at Kenilworth Diaries.

The bush band “the Band-O’Coots” has been booked for a fun night of dancing.

Further details will be published as they are finalised.
