Hello and welcome to the Plains Community Group {PCG}, a young, not-for-profit organisation established in 2023, dedicated to providing high-quality, FREE community activities/events throughout the Adelaide Plains region.

Our strong commitment to quality and community care — especially for those who are disadvantaged, living with a disability, socially isolated, or geographically distant — earned us the Adelaide Plains Council Community Group of the Year Award in 2024/25.
About The Plains Community Group
We are The Plains Community Group. We formed in 2023 to bring high-quality and affordable events to the Adelaide Plains. We are proud to be named the 2025 Community Group of the Year in the Adelaide Plains Council region.
The Plains Community Group (PCG) works to:
- Create and promote a variety of events across the Adelaide Plains Council (APC) region
- Showcase events that connect people and strengthen our community
- Build community resilience and help disadvantaged families attend affordable events in the region, such as The Twinkling
- Support and promote events in the visual and performing arts across the APC region
- Engage the community through accessible and inclusive events that reflect local needs
- Collaborate with other charitable groups within the APC region
We are a small team of volunteers from Two Wells, Mallala, Korunye, Lewiston, Parham and surrounding areas, aged 18 and up. We hold monthly meetings on the second Wednesday of each month at the Old Two Wells Council Chambers from 6pm.
We are always looking for new volunteers. If you are interested, please contact us at info@theplainscommunitygroup.com.au
or come along to one of our meetings.
Our flagship event is The Twinkling. This is our main focus each year, but we also aim to bring more fundraising events to the region, including a Quingo Night and other community-focused activities.
Events repeated each year
Our goal is to create events for you! There is nothing we love more than the community spirit lifting up the people of our area!
We are busy planning some exciting new events and collaborations at the moment – watch this space! We’re working on a range of events and activities set among communities in the Adelaide Plains area.
Easter Event
Easter Sunday sees families gather at the Mallala RSL {with the PCG} for a combined event involving games, petting zoo, mini golf putting, food and egg hunts.
Quiz Night
At least once a year. The proceeds ensure we are able to continue with all our programs.
Twinkling Lights Competition
Join the FREE Twinkling Lights Competition, a joyful local favourite open to all in the Adelaide Plains community. With categories for houses, neighbours, businesses, themed displays and Enlightenment, there’s something for everyone.
Twinkling Trails
Our FREE Twinkling Trails take families on a fun ‘yellow-brick road’ style walk with 15–20 activities, photos, letters to Santa and more. Held twice a year in Two Wells and Mallala, the main trail runs on the first Friday of December with an early 5 pm start for children with sensory needs. All children need to be registered by 22 November.
