Now in its 27th year, the annual event at the council’s Ambury Regional Park is extremely popular, attracting more than 30,000 people a day.

“The mixture of fun, farming and education is a real hit, especially for those not often exposed to farm life,” says Cr Christine Fletcher, chair of the Parks, Recreation and Sport Committee..

“Ambury is a working farm, which a lot of people don’t expect so close to the city. The council is also one of the region’s largest farmers.”

Mixed with the farm-style fun will be live entertainment, a bouncy castle, great food and rides, wood chopping and if  you cycle to the event, your ride will get a free tune-up.

“Ambury Farm Day is a great day out for family and friends of all ages; bring a picnic lunch or enjoy the food on site,” senior ranger Wayne Carlson says. 

“Farm Day brings a touch of country to the big smoke and to do this, we have more than 200 volunteers who assist us on the day - some who were at the very first event.
