Autumn Equinox

We will be hosting the Autumn Equinox on Friday the 26th of March. With an incredible line up of live entertainment on the main stage, free permaculture workshops focusing on earth care, people care and fair share, and free children’s activities, it promises to be another memorable soul filled family evening.

Children under 18 are free to attend and early bird tickets are only $15 and available until the 19th of February. After that our full program of incredible performers, artists, speakers and ceremonial leaders will be announced. This event is a fund-raising event for the Farm which operates as a social enterprise and a not-for-profit organisation, so all money raised goes back to the Farm and contributes to providing free education and entertainment. For those who can not afford a ticket and would like to work on the night as volunteer as an exchange, please contact the Enterprise Manager Desi on enterprise.mgr@nscf.org.au.

You can find out about the event on Facebook here.

We look forward to celebrating the Autumn Equinox with you.
