Carclew is 50 YEARS YOUNG and you’re invited to the party!

Join us on Saturday 26 November from 4pm with your friends and family to celebrate Carclew’s 50th birthday where the grounds will be transformed into a party scene with live music, entertainment, and workshops.

The birthday party is a FREE event for all ages!

Every performance and activity will showcase Carclew’s diversity of arts programs that support and nurture young emerging creatives.

There will be activities for children, food trucks, artist market stalls, picnic rugs and a bar for the grownups, perfect for a sundowner!

Location: Kaurna Country, 11 Jeffcott St North Adelaide

Date: Saturday 26 November 2022

Time: 4 - 10pm

We acknowledge that the land Carclew stands on, where this event takes place, is the traditional land of the Kaurna people, and we respect their spiritual relationship with their country.

Help us reach our fundraising goal of $50,000 for 50 years of Carclew.

Donate to Carclew before December and your donation will be doubled!

As a Not-for-Profit organisation, Carclew needs your support to continue to transform young lives through creativity!

We are strongly encouraging Carclew friends and community to DONATE in lieu of an entrance fee.

All donations are tax deductible and can be made here.

We rely on our SUPPORTERS so please DONATE to build a sustainable future for Carclew.
