Mother’s Day Picnic

Enjoy a relaxed afternoon on the grounds, try your luck playing some old fashioned games including skittles, quoits and noughts & crosses and then partake in a tour inside the heritage listed house. Completed in 1860, Cockman House is an historic gem and tells the story of James and Mary Ann Cockman and their descendants who lived in the house over a 130 year period. Acquired by the City of Wanneroo in 1987, Cockman House has been open as a museum and heritage site since April 1989. We will also be announcing the prize winners from our ‘Great Wanneroo Bake Off’ competition. The ever popular Book Cubby from the Library will be set up and we are inviting children and their families to design and print their own special book for Mothers Day. Children will be invited to create a book featuring their favourite foods and a copy of each book will be proudly displayed within the Wanneroo Library in the week following.

Do you have what it takes to be the winner of Wanneroo’s inaugural Bake Off competition? Perhaps you have an old family favourite recipe or maybe you want to experiment with something more modern, here is your chance! Dust off your aprons, whip out your wooden spoons and get creative. With separate categories for both the young and young at heart, there will be prizes for those who deliver the most delicious sweet treats to our judging panel.

Please deliver your goodies to Cockman House on Sunday 8th May between 11am and 1pm. This will allow time for judging before the winners being announced during the Mother’s Day Picnic at Cockman House that afternoon.

Please call the museum on 9405 5920 for more information.
