Special Events

When Dame Elisabeth lived at Cruden Farm, the property hosted many events to raise money for the various charities that were dear to her heart. With ample car parking and visitor facilities, Cruden Farm is a great location to stage a major event; be it as a fundraiser or for the community.

Please note that Cruden Farm does not manage bookings or tickets for external events, so please contact the organiser for details of each event. As a venue for activities presented by charities and community-based organisations, each event’s ticket price varies, and those costs are determined by the organisation staging the event.

Cruden Farm is also a unique place to hold a special event for your family and/or friends. Whilst there isn’t a commercial kitchen on-site, we can provide morning or afternoon tea, served in an undercover area with seating for up to 60 people. If you’d like to hold your very own special event at Cruden Farm, just give us a ring!

To arrange an event at Cruden Farm, please contact us on 03 9789 1676 or email info@crudenfarm.com.au.

What is Forest Therapy?

Forest Therapy in that way is so much more than just a walk in nature. It is being present and aware of the natural world via our senses in a way we don’t usually do. Backed by extensive research, it is a time of slowing right down and returning to an almost child-like view of the colours, textures, shapes, scents, sounds and sights around us. When this kind of wonder is revisited, our body responds by relaxing into the feel-good factor.
