Host your party at the Farm

Looking for a unique location to host your little one's—or your big one's—party? Let us you up under our marquee in the Stables Paddock, a picturesque spot nestled between the orchard and the nursery garden, with river gums overlooking the Birrarung. The marquee accommodates up to 60 people comes with trestle tables, hay bales and Tolix A-chair seating; guests are free to explore the Farm and participate in public activities, or book an exclusive add-on: Meet the Guinea Pigs Beat the lines! One of our farmers brings a muddle of guinea pigs and a bucket of greens to the marquee for a private meet-and-greet. You can feed and pet them at your leisure, no need to line up or wait for an appointed time. Meet the Guinea Pigs sessions cost $130 for 20 minutes and are suitable for up to 30 children (or adults!) Meet a Pony One of our farmers brings a pony to the marquee for a private meet-and-greet. Guests get to brush and pat them whilst learning all about their cheeky personalities. Sessions cost $250 for 20 minutes plus setup and packdown. Choose between Brandy or little Finnegan • Brandy is a 21 year old Welsh Pony who has lived on the Farm for 15 years. She loves being brushed, any kind of snack and she's best friends with our horse Jim. Brandy is very gentle and fine with children of all ages, but as she's a bit taller than Finnegan so better suited to older children who can reach her mane and back. • Finnegan is a 14 year old Miniature Horse, our youngest and cheekiest pony—he's very affectionate but forever getting up to mischief! As Finn is very small, he's a great choice for younger kids. A two- or three-year-old can easily reach his neck and back to brush him. Face Painting Book a session of face painting for your party! Our face-painter can create full-face designs for 15 children per hour or small designs for 20 children per hour. Minimum two hour booking $260 plus $90 for each additional hour. Please note, if you have more than 20 children attending you must book additional hours. Party Wagon The Party Wagon is a cute little wooden wagon which comes with a picnic blanket and outdoor wooden games like quoits and scatter. This can be booked on its own for small-scale parties which don't require the full HQ setup, or as an add-on to your larger party booking. The wagon hire costs $60 plus a $60 bond, refunded when the wagon is returned with all of its contents intact. Party. Sorted. Please note, this package does not include the cost of entry for you or your guests. You can add tickets to your order or purchase them independently, either on our website or in person on the day of your party.
