Mark your calendars, Samford Long Lunch returns on Saturday 13 September 2025.
Join us annually for a memorable lunch amongst friends. Each year, the Comiskey Group (owners of Samford Hotel) host this event in support of local rugby team, the Samford Stags.
Enjoy a picturesque drive to Samford, through forest, farmland and valleys, framed by the spectacular mountains of the D’Aguilar range in the distance.
From 1pm, we invite you to the beautiful Alan Cash Park, surrounded by lush trees and the sounds of nature, to indulge in a country Hamptons inspired long lunch.
Support our local suppliers by pre-selecting the food package of your choice - or pack a picnic instead - and be spoilt for choice with a selection of premium beverages to enjoy within an intimate styled setting, complete with champagne and cocktail bars, lawn games, live music and plenty of photo opportunities.
To top off the day, get involved in raffles or bid on auction prizes.
All proceeds raised will be donated to our local team, the Samford Stags.
As night falls, indulge in something sweet from our dessert food truck or a dance under the stars, before the event concludes at 8pm.
Dress up for a day filled with good food and good company, in the heart of Samford.
