2024, you’ve been amazing! A fabulous year of presenting art, music and events at the heartlands of the Rosny Farm Arts Centre and the surrounding City of Clarence.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our bumper year of creative communities!

It’s the last week to catch the current Clarence Textile and Fibre Exhibition at the Schoolhouse Gallery closing this Sunday 15th December. The Rosny Farm end of year site shutdown is from the 21st December to the 7th January.

Don’t forget we’re straight back into celebrating a new year with our Bellerive Beach Party on 4th January 2025. Join us for fun in the sun.

Peace to all!

**Swinging Christmas Update! **

We’re very sad to announce that we have made the difficult decision to cancel today’s Swinging Christmas event due to wet weather and subsequent safety concerns.

We know this is a huge disappointment, but no one wants a soggy Santa!

Thanks for understanding and stay tuned for more family events coming soon.

In the meantime, stay warm, dry, and maybe even indulge in a little extra Christmas cheer tonight!

"I have walked many of the tracks along Kunanyi (Mt Wellington) for many years
and it’s a treasure for everyone to enjoy bird life diversity, forest picnics free from city traffic to enjoy all of nature." Mabel Clarkson

Nala, the Dogs' Day Out Ambassadog, will be back for Dogs' Day Out 2024! She will be judging, testing out treats, and giving lots of canine advice. She is hard at work this week at her day job at Dogs Homes of Tasmania getting ready for her role but we took some time out to talk to her and her best human friend, Shara. The event runs from 11am to 2pm at Simmons Park, Lindisfarne. There are stalls, competitions and prizes galore, and you can even get a professional portrait done of you and your dog, free of charge.
