The Winter Solstice Festival is back!
There's change in the air at Northey Street City Farm, and with new energy comes exciting possibilities. This year, our annual fundraiser, the Winter Solstice Festival, is all about imagining the future, harnessing our own creativity and working as a community to bring about the abundance (in all its forms) we want to see at the Farm.
For starters, we're committed to making the festival more inclusive. From programming decisions to site planning, we are looking at ways of ensuring everyone in our community can participate, feel safe and know they are welcome.
Creativity is central. Intergenerational play spaces, participatory art installations, poetry and podcasting; we're exploring ways of engaging with the world around us. Our workshops and programming will focus on encouraging our own creativity with help from skilled facilitators and innovative practitioners.
Community is key! We're building the festival from the ground up. We rely on a whole team of natural born helpers who volunteer their time and skills to make great things happen. Email event.volunteers@nscf.org.au to be a part of the crew that puts it all together!

The heads up on tickets
Ticket pricing has changed (for the better!). The Winter Solstice Festival is a fundraising event and your ticket purchase goes directly to supporting the Farm.
Early bird tickets are now on sale until the 21st of May. Let us know you will be coming early for significant discounts on the price of tickets.
We know costs of living have increased and families especially are under pressure. There is now a combined family ticket for two adult caregivers and all children of the same family.
We want to reduce our carbon emissions and relieve parking congestion by encouraging more active travel (walk/ride/skip/scoot) to the festival. Commit to being active traveller and receive a half-price ticket!*
But good things stay the same. Our Pay-It-Forward ticket system means that individuals can sponsor tickets for others to ensure everyone can attend. Since its introduction, we have been humbled and moved by the generosity shown. Get in touch if you would like a Pay-It Forward ticket and we'll sort it out!
*available on full cost, individual tickets only
Get involved in planning!
On Tuesday 28 March, we held the first of our Winter Solstice Planning meetings. Thank you to all who have contributed to the discussions. Your feedback has been invaluable and will only make the festival this year even better. Our next proposed meeting date will be: Wednesday 26th April, 1:30 - 3pm in the space under the office and is open to everyone. Please RSVP at events@nscf.org.au if you would like to attend.
