The annual Father’s Day Family night will be held on Thursday, August 30.

The free community event encourages local families to come together for a fun-filled evening of games, arts and crafts, and light refreshments.

As well as the chance to win prizes, youngsters will be able to spoil their special someone by creating a unique D.I.Y. gift.

With the help of the friendly team at Bunnings Warehouse Mittagong there’s no limit to the imagination, plus there’s a free gift-wrapping station to add the finishing touch.

The Paw Patrol characters will be at Bunnings between 5pm and 8pm.
