One of the first questions that come to mind when people are doing it tough as a result of COVID-19 is: ‘How can I help?’.

Here’s the good news – you can practise safe social distancing and support your favourite bars, cafes, restaurants, and businesses at the same time.

Many operators across the Moreton Bay Region are offering experiences and staycation specials that can be used once the crisis passes.

Looking for the perfect Easter present? Now is the time to ditch the chocolate and buy a voucher or certificate instead.

It’s the personalised gift that’s sweeter than your average Lindt bunny. It will last longer, too!

From family fun to tours & hire, we’ve put together a list of Moreton Bay Region venues with vouchers and certificates (online and in-store) to purchase now and enjoy later.

If you know a business that should be added to the list – let us know!

Family Fun – Pay now, play later

White Ridge Farm

Their doors may be closed temporarily, but White Ridge Farm at Elimbah is still offering gift vouchers to redeem at a later date. Get up close with llamas and alpacas, take a hayride, and bring your own picnic for a DIY lunch. No doubt the Easter Bunny would approve of the new rabbit and guinea pig area.
