Harvest Day Out on Saturday 30 April has been cancelled due to the heavy rain and possible severe weather forecast. We are very disappointed to cancel the event and hope to reschedule the program later this year. The safety and enjoyment of our visitors was our main priority. Thank you for everyone’s support.

Step into the stories at Lanyon Homestead and discover the history of Canberra before it became the nation’s capital. Hear the stories of the people who lived and worked here and be immersed in the colonial interiors of the 1850s homestead. Follow your tour with a stroll through the outbuildings and kitchen gardens.

Part of the Harvest Day Out event at Lanyon Homestead. Celebrate Lanyon Homestead’s autumn harvest and gardens. Drop by, have a picnic and enjoy the music, market stalls and gardens. For our garden lovers, book into the bush tucker and veggie growing talks. Get creative at the children’s drawing trail, the bee hotel, candle making or Victorian floristry workshops. Or join one of the garden or Homestead tours.
