Our Noodle Making Workshop commences at 12.30pm in the Pavilion. The Parkes M & D Performers will also be back on the low stage between 12.30pm and 2.00pm.
If that isn’t enough…..we will have a wonderful selection of local and regional food vendors and stallholders.
While all of this is happening, we are thrilled to once again have the most gorgeous animal farm shared by the Barnes family…we also have a free jumping castle, generously operated by the Action Club.
We love being able to bring new workshops to the Homegrown event to provide opportunities for our community to learn about processes and concepts that allow ‘non-experts’ to make, bake and partake on your own turf.
The best thing is….this event is totally free. Our workshops are free, the entertainment is free.
Our goal is to provide as many activities as possible free to the community at Homegrown Parkes because we don’t want any barriers to learning. There are pressures on our households and we want people to learn how they can be producing and processing at home to help cut some of these costs.
Make sure that you keep up to date with any additions and changes at the Homegrown Parkes Facebook and Instagram pages. Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!
