Birdwood Farm Day

Farm Day is excited to partner with the National Motor Museum again in 2024 and as always, promises to have something for to suit every member of the family!

There will be all the usual crowd favourites - freshly baked damper and Devonshire tea, petting zoos, and a host of animal exhibits.

Milking cows, sheep shearing and working dog demonstrations along with log chopping, blacksmithing, restored engines plenty of other attractions to showcase the farming lifestyle and how farming has evolved over time.

Camel rides, bouncy castles, face painting and other amusement rides will be sure to put smiles on everyone’s faces.

As Farm Day is the sole fundraiser for Birdwood Primary School, the school’s representation must not be overlooked. The school will host a variety of retail stalls including our ever-popular Gardening, Sweet Treats and Port and Wine stalls. The students themselves are working hard on creating their own retail spaces in each year level too.

This really is a group effort with the whole school community being involved on some level, putting our best offerings forward for the public to enjoy!

As always, plenty of hot coffee and food choices to keep you full so you can stay and play the whole day long.

Children can use their imaginations while they 'build a city' with foam blocks or enjoy some quiet time colouring in, or challenge each other to giant board games like chess, Connect 4 and Jenga in our Kids Zone.

The Main Stage and Arena areas will host some great entertainers with live music, whip cracking and performances by our very own students.

Not sure how you will see it all? Purchase a Farm Day Trail Bag from the Info Stall by the entrance and it will lead you through the event, collecting as you go, ensuring no corner is left undiscovered.

Have we mentioned that each ticket also provides FREE access to the National Motor Museum?

Tickets on sale February 18th, don’t miss out!

All tickets must be pre-purchased via Try Booking.

Illuminate Adelaide - Lacunae by Soma Lumia

This performance will occur 12 times during July. Please click on the link to find out more.

Connecting people in real-time across galleries in Adelaide, Murray Bridge and Bordertown.

Lacunae transforms our separation into something where joy and connection bubbles up through movement, music and art.

Recreated from its premiere run at MONA FOMA 2020 by Tasmanian tech-art collective Soma Lumia, this boundary-pushing team have taken their distinctively hybrid media practice to create a dance party reflective of the world’s recent experience with lock-down and isolation.

Joined via live-feed to share silhouettes and music tracks simultaneously from different locations, people can communicate and dance with one another across SA in this joyous shared space full of colour, music and movement.

Music tracks by composer Jesse Budel.
