String Contingent Concert at Nest

Their multi-faceted approach results in highly accessible yet sophisticated music that captivates audiences from any genre, while retaining their own unique style.
Eastern Riverina Arts and Nest have worked together to bring this one - off performance on Sunday 3 March at 2pm.Tickets to the concert are just $25 and are on sale now at Eastern Riverina Arts Eastern Riverina Arts Bookings

To Market to Market
To market to market to buy a fresh [insert here the seasons best produce]. Do you love buying direct from the grower or artisan who crafted your goods? Well in the Tumbarumba locale we have some wonderful produce grown by charming people and creatives who make allsorts of giftware and useful items.
Conveniently for you and I, these growers and makers gather their wares and make up our 'Local Produce & Handmade Market' on the lawns of Nest every third Saturday of the month from 9am - 12noon.
Since 2010 when it began, we've seen seasons and produce change and delight in welcoming new stall holders all the time. According to the seasons and inspirations you can find fresh vegetables(Mark is pictured with his harvest in Feb 2011), berries, fruit, chestnuts, eggs, jams, relishes, sauces, herbs, plants and seedlings, jewellery, metal art, wooden toys & furniture, baby clothes & accessories, handmade clothes, pre-loved books, essential oils & candles, massage, honey, handmade stationery, vintage wares, goats milk soaps... goodness!
Without the individuals in the community and travellers who come, browse, buy and chat with our producers, there of course wouldn't be a market; so thank you if this is you and we invite you and everyone to keep coming and supporting our local growers.
If you make or grow anything (don't be shy now) and are interested in a stall give Laura a call on 6948 2950.
Upcoming Markets:
9am - 12noon on the Nest lawns

Moonlight Cinema
What do you get when you combine moonlight, great pizza, and a classic film?
Nest's first ever 'Moonlight Cinema', Tumbarumba's very own open air movie screening. The weather was perfect, the food very much enjoyed, and the atmosphere second to none. While the pesky sun took its time to retire, punters enjoyed some spontaneous charades, Nest's quirky (but oh so delicious) version of the choc top, accompanied by good wine and even better company. The motion picture of choice was Casablanca, screened in it's original 35mm format, overseen by our resident film nerd 'Farmer' John.
We can't wait until the next one.

Nest Christmas Markets
We love Christmas.
Like really love Christmas. The tree is up, the decorations are out, and the music is on. To get you all in the mood, we’re holding a special Christmas market on the Nest Lawns on the 15th of December. We’ve got a bunch of special vendors lined up, but can still squeeze a few more in, so if you would like to spruik your festive wares, then give the girls at Nest a call to book your space.
We also host world renowned Christmas parties, so if you’re thinking of holding a yuletide get together, give us a call, we’ll make it totally awesome.
Bye for now
Laura and the Nest team
