11.01.2022 The Eryldene Mother's Day Virtual Tea was a great success. We've received some wonderful photos from participants. In no particular order, this elegant setting was sent in by David Holden. He says: "What a wonderful idea! We followed Mrs Waterhouse's recipes and made ginger sandwich, scones and other yummy treats. I have a new appreciation for the volunteers from Eryldene's kitchen :) Thank you!" Thank you, David!... And thanks to everyone who supported Eryldene and recreated at home the Sunday afternoon teas served by Mrs Waterhouse between 1914 and the 1970s. We will share more picture entries over the coming days.

11.01.2022 A lovely idea for a Sunday outing..

07.01.2022 We've missed you... ...and know you've been looking over the fence wondering when you can visit the garden again... Well, Eryldene is pleased to be opening our front gate!. Not one, but TWO Open Weekends each month - July, August and September... "Broadway Comes to Eryldene" - an evening concert featuring your favourite musical numbers - Sunday, October 11 Eryldene's renowned Christmas Fair - November 28 & 29 Please visit the What's On page for details: https://eryldene.org.au/pages/display/calendar Eryldene is also available for venue hire. All events subject to guidelines around Covid-19 pandemic. Please check regularly our website or Facebook page for further updates and news. Thank you for your ongoing support, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Eryldene...

06.01.2022 COVID-19 UPDATE March 24, 2020 In line with recent Federal and NSW Government decisions, Eryldene is closed to the public and has ceased venue hire until further notice.... The reasons for this are to: - support government strategy to reduce and limit the spread of the virus through restricting social gathering and directing people to keep a safe distance from each other at gatherings. - protect and manage the welfare of staff, volunteers, and visitors, many of whom belong to the older demographic, a group that has been identified as especially at risk if exposed to the COVID-19 virus. The Trust’s earlier decision to suspend our Public Program, Open Days, events and tours until at least June 30, 2020 remains unchanged. Christopher Levins Chair, Eryldene Trust
