Event Details

HARVEST DAY OUT 2022 @ LANYON HOMESTEAD

Celebrate Lanyon Homestead’s autumn harvest and gardens. Explore the property and immerse yourself in the kitchen gardens. Take a tour of the historic homestead and view the outbuildings, kitchen and stable. Or just bring a picnic rug, enjoy some music and play some lawn games in the gardens overlooking the Murrumbidgee River and Brindabellas. We have free music in the gardens and coffee and ice-cream stalls for a quick caffeine or snack fix. You can even pre-book your picnic hamper or Devonshire Tea for your picnic.

We also have a range of ticketed events. For our garden lovers, join the bush tucker and veggie growing talks. Get creative with our 'air-bee-n-bee hotel', bee wax candles and Victorian floristry workshops. For kids, we have the Garden Drawing Trail. Or join one of the free garden or homestead tours.
