On 27 February Byron’s 2026 sports lunch is coming up again and is bringing together ‘big personalities, rugby banter and a touch of lyrical flair to an afternoon sports lunch at Byron Bay,’ say organisers.
The lunch raises funds for the Westpac Helicopter Service.
Grab a ticket and you can join MC David Arthur along with Wallabies star Tom Lawton, who played 41 tests for Australia in a seven-year international career and Murray Hartin, one of the best Australian rhyming poets of the modern era, for an intimate sports luncheon.
‘Sit back and enjoy a two-course feast with a three-hour drinks package at Byron Bay Services Club, while being entertained by sporting stories and poetic punchlines,’ said organisers.
