This Saturday is the Secret Garden’s very first Autumn Fair!
Autumn Fair at Sydney’s Own New Secret Garden.
The Secret Garden, run by the North West Disability Service is a person-centric, not-for-profit organisation providing group-based activities for people with a disability. They are one of the largest providers of services to the disabled in Sydney and focus on assisting their clients with community engagement through their recreational and skill development activities. Being a not-for-profit organisation, the service relies heavily on volunteers and fund raising to keep costs to their clients at a minimum.
The Autumn Fair promises to be a very fun day out for all—children, adults, the general community and the disabled, with an accessible site and a range of fun fair activities. The Fair features:
- A mass of market stalls
- Devonshire tea
- Children’s activities
- Farmyard animals
- Live music from local musicians
- Hundreds of plants at bargain prices.
When: Saturday, 13th May, 2017
Time: 9am until 4pm
Where: Clydesdale Lane, on the campus of Western Sydney University at Richmond (enter via Londonderry Road)
