Every year Beechworth holds a re-enactment of the trial of Ned Kelly in the first weekend in August. Ned was originally tried in Beechworth before he was finally tried and hung in Melbourne. I just recently purchased a replica Ned Kelly armour to use for such weekends, promotions etc.

It's bloody heavy, you wonder how Ned could moved in it. Several of our staff took turns in wearing it while serving in the shop or collecting the dishes. It really caught the attention of our customers, they loved it and it really added to the whole weekend.

Our Ned Kelly pies are quite famous and are very popular all year round,. When we have weekends like the Ned Kelly Trial we make some other special products to fit in with the theme. So we made Dan Kelly Damper and Ned Kelly shortbread biscuits for the kids. It is a great weekend and now that we have our own Ned Kelly armour you may see Ned  any time in our shop.
