Held each year on the Easter long weekend, this year (2015) the Wooli Art Show is officially opened on Friday 3 April and the exhibition will continue on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 April 2015.

The Wild About Wooli Art Show features a range of artworks from both amateurs and professional artists in the region. There is also a children’s category.

Wooli’s always great for fishing – but for one week in August each year, it’s busier than any other week in winter and fishing is all anyone talks about.

The annual Wooli Snapper Challenge, now in its 7^th year, is an increasingly popular fishing competition that draws anglers from far and wide.

Most holiday houses are booked long in advance, and the owners of holiday units, cabins and caravan parks recommend booking early to secure a place.
