Berry recognises the First Peoples of the Shoalhaven and their ongoing connection to culture and country. We acknowledge Aboriginal people as the Traditional Owners, Custodians and Lore Keepers of the world’s oldest living culture and pay respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
Set among rolling green hills on the NSW South Coast, Berry has a polished food, retail and cultural offer with a distinctly local feel. Its compact centre is home to standout restaurants, cafés, providores, boutiques, galleries and regular markets, creating an easy rhythm between eating, shopping and exploring. Beyond the main street, wineries, beaches and country lanes broaden the experience while keeping the village feel intact.
The precinct's 'Extend the Weekend' programming builds on these strengths by bringing local venues, accommodation providers, musicians and creatives together through themed weekends, live music and curated experiences designed to encourage longer stays. Already home to signature festival events such as Berry Writers Festival and Open Field Contemporary Arts Festival, partners will find a highly recognisable destination with engaged businesses, established visitor appeal and a proven collaborative model for turning seasonal programming into shared village-wide activity.
Berry offers partners an engaged network of hospitality, accommodation, retail and creative businesses, alongside local content creators with established audiences. 'Extend the Weekend' demonstrates the precinct’s ability to coordinate multi-venue programming, storytelling and partner-ready experiences designed to increase dwell time and reach.
