Lord’s Taverners ACT
Dedicated to helping young and disadvantaged people from Canberra and the region to play cricket and other sports when they might not otherwise have the opportunity to do so.
Our Principal Partner is Morgans Canberra, part of Australia’s largest national full-service stockbroking and wealth management network.
Events
Our events are the most important way we raise funds for the people we support. You don’t have to be a member of Lord’s Taverners to attend – our events are open to the general public. Come along, meet likeminded people and help give the young and disadvantaged a sporting chance!
Here’s a sample of our annual calendar.
Winemakers Dinner

Annual Dinner
Our annual celebration of the year’s achievements, with a special guest speaker and presentation of Junior Taverners Awards.
The Drinks Break
Craft beer and wine-tasting in November each year at Farrah’s Liquor Collective, an ideal opportunity to stock up for the festive season!
