Yirranma Place Community Open Day 2026

Welcome Home to Yirranma Place

where many stories create a place

Saturday 5 December | 10 am – 1 pm | Free Entry

Yirranma means “many create” - and this Open Day is your invitation to discover a space where community comes together with purpose, creativity and heart.

A Place for Everyone

Yirranma Place opens its doors once again for our annual Community Open Day - a morning of connection, discovery and Christmas cheer in the heart of Darlinghurst.

Bring the family for hands-on activities upstairs, delivered by local social enterprises. Downstairs, settle in for grown-up conversations and live organ performances in our heritage Auditorium. And in the Blue Gum Hall, browse our Social Enterprise Christmas Market - the perfect spot to tick off a few gifts before Christmas.

Everyone is welcome.

What’s on

On the Ground Floor

🎄 Blue Gum Hall

Get into the Christmas spirit with our Social Enterprise Christmas Market, featuring purpose-driven makers and organisations with plenty of thoughtful gifts to tick off your Christmas list.

You can also decorate your own Christmas tree bauble to hang on the Christmas Tree - a donation will be made to Plunkett Street Public School for every bauble hung - and enter the ReLove designer furniture raffle for the chance to win something special.

☕ Ground Floor Café & Portico

Start your morning with a coffee and festive treats in the ground-floor café and sun-filled portico.

There’ll also be Gelato Messina, a photobooth and a balloon artist to keep things festive.

🎶 Auditorium

Step into our beautiful heritage Auditorium for a morning of grown-up conversations and live organ performances.

Hear from organisations working across social impact and community, while enjoying live music in one of Yirranma Place’s most special spaces.

Full programme to be announced.

Level 2

✂️Family Activities

Head upstairs for a morning of hands-on fun, with activities delivered by local social enterprises.

There’ll be something for curious minds of all ages, including:

• Lego building

• Sensory snowglobe making

• Self-directed creative card making

• A Makey Makey tech show

• Dried flower card making

Come for one activity or stay for the morning - there’s plenty to explore.

🌿 Rooftop

Take a break upstairs on the rooftop with La Farmacia Tacos, a Botanicals spritz station and relaxed lounge seating.

A little sunshine, something delicious and a chance to slow down.

Discover Yirranma Place

Yirranma Place is more than a beautiful heritage building. It’s a home for organisations, social enterprises and people working to create positive change in the community.

Community Open Day is a chance to see the building come alive - from the café and portico to the rooftop and heritage Auditorium - and discover some of the people and organisations helping make a difference.

Come curious. Stay for a while. Meet someone new.

Everyone’s Welcome
