The time has arrived for our popular sunflower festival. It’s a chance to visit the sunflowers and come back and enjoy some great live music on our lawns. This year we have planted out 8 different colours and varieties. There will be face painting, piglet patting and a craft table for children. The bar will be open and we will be serving some delicious food.
A stellar line up of music will go from 3:00 pm through to sunset, featuring Tasmanian Jazz vocalist Susannah Coleman-Brown who will be performing with Jazz trio Blossom. They will be followed by Tessa Lee and band who will take us through to sunset. Bring some friends a picnic rug, dress up in summer attire and take some great pictures in our sunflowers.

Fire and Mountain Winter Festival - Winter Solstice
2025-06-21 13:00 - 21:00
Our Most Beloved Event Returns in 2025
Join us this winter as we step out of hibernation and come together to celebrate the season in true Mount Gnomon style.
In 2025, the Fire and Mountain Winter Festival will align with the Winter Solstice—the turning point of the year. It’s a time to gather, reconnect, and honour the longest night with a spectacular celebration of fire, food, and music.
Wander through the farm, where fire pots glow and mulled cider flows. Bring your friends and family and warm your hands—and hearts—around shared flames. Enjoy live music from a stellar lineup, including Ben Salter, Jethro Pickett, Katy Hansen, and Tell the Others.
As night falls, make your way to the candlelit barn, transformed into a glowing lounge room. String Theory will perform Vivaldi’s evocative Winter concerto beside a roaring fire—a moment of magic to honour the solstice.
Throughout the afternoon, feast on paddock-to-plate dishes cooked over fire, and savour artisan produce in a rustic winter banquet. A bonfire, craft activities, animal encounters, and fire twirling will bring joy to all ages—making it a perfect day out for families.
And don’t forget: with the sun at its lowest point in the sky, your shadow will be the longest it’ll cast all year. A perfect moment to welcome the night—and stand tall.

Join us for a very special event as we set up a long table 3 course feast between two rows of our apple orchard. It’s a paddock to plate sunset experience with the barn as a backdrop. Included in the price is an intimate farm tour and access to the sunflower field. It’s a chance to come together as a community and share a meal in a stunning setting.
