Free Community Christmas Day Lunch 2026

Celebrating 33 years of bringing the community together!

Armidale Uniting Church warmly invites everyone to its FREE Community Christmas Day Lunch on Friday 25 December 2026.

Now in its 33rd year, this much-loved Armidale tradition brings people together to share good food, friendship and the joy of Christmas.

Everyone is welcome! Come on your own, bring your family, invite a friend or neighbour — people of all ages are welcome.

What's on the menu?

The celebrations begin at 11:30 am with drinks and savouries, followed by Christmas lunch at 12 noon.

Enjoy a traditional Christmas feast featuring ham, chicken, a variety of salads, and delicious desserts including pavlova, ice cream and Christmas pudding.

Gluten-free and lactose-free dietary needs can be catered for.

A community celebration made possible by volunteers

Each year, a wonderful team of volunteers comes together to prepare, serve and share Christmas lunch with the community. Volunteers also deliver meals to those unable to attend and provide transport for people who need assistance getting to the lunch.

More than just a meal, the day is about friendship, generosity and community spirit — making sure everyone has the opportunity to enjoy Christmas in good company.

Need a meal delivered or transport to the lunch?

We're happy to help! If you're unable to attend, we can arrange for a Christmas meal to be delivered. If you need a lift, our volunteers can arrange to pick you up and bring you to the lunch.

Please contact us by Thursday 24 December 2026 to arrange meal delivery or transport.
