Join our Extended Open Day at the Turn of the Seasons: 31 August
As days start to lengthen, we are offering our seasonal ‘extra’ with an extended welcome on Saturday 31 August. Our program runs from 10am through to 4ish. If you are peckish or pushed for time and forgot the picnic, our coffee cart offers lunches, lattes and lots more.
This program is perfect for a first visit but there is the option to book an overnight camp site for a small fee. You can then join whatever is happening. Please let our camping host, Dan, (daniel.mohr@nararaecovillage.com) know if you would like to self-cater and stay.
Saturday’s program includes:
- 10.00am Registration – $10 adult / $20 family
- 10.30am: Presentation – Introduction to Narara Ecovillage + Q&A

Listen to a short presentation and take a site tour. Then spend the afternoon participating in one of our village activities, maintenance or construction projects, picnicking on our beautiful site, and chatting with Ecovillage members (many of whom have unique skills and experience in everything from permaculture to natural construction, animal husbandry to tool libraries and wellbeing). Your children will love exploring our natural playground, and are most welcome to participate in our activities too.
For information about activities and stalls available each month, check our facebook page.
Tea/coffee, water, and a seasonal fruit platter will be available. Please feel free to bring along your own lunch or afternoon tea to enjoy, or explore the growing options available at our village stalls and juice bar.
Cost to attend any part of the day: Individual $10, Family $20
Please note this is a rural property. We recommend wearing enclosed shoes (not thongs or sandals).
Our mission includes striving for ecological sustainability. We ask that you leave your pets at home when you visit the Ecovillage.
