Live music is back on the cards at Robin Hood Hotel at Strathalbyn this evening, for the first time since COVID restrictions came into force.

Events and marketing manager Ruby Thomson says Soul Revival will play from 6pm as part of a family friendly session.

“There will be a lucky dip available for the kids, and many people will be taking the opportunity to have after work Christmas drinks as work breaks up for the year.”

The magic will continue at the Hood on Christmas Eve, as family and friends get together to celebrate the festive season.

Classic pub rock will be the flavour of the evening, with solo artist Ron Ash performing from 8pm.

The Hood’s regular pub fare will be on the menu, but it is recommended people book as soon as possible.

The hotel will be closed on Christmas Day for the first time.

“But we will be open for meals -- both lunch and dinner -- from December 29th, right through New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day,” Ruby says.

Those who haven’t visited the Hood for a while can expect a pleasant surprise.

“We have renovated since COVID, so the front bar and the restaurant have had a little bit of a makeover,” Ruby says.

“There’s been a fresh coat of paint and some fresh tiles in some spots, as well as some fresh decor.”

The Hood has all your old favourites on tap, along with a selection of local Langhorne Creek wines.

“We’re excited to let our hair down, have some fun and we encourage people to stay tuned to our Instagram page in the new year for details on some of our regular Hood events,” Ruby says.

The Robin Hood Hotel has partnered with the Fleurieu App to give away a $25 voucher as part of its Win for Christmas campaign.
