Lenny’s Country at Nan’s Place - Family Event
Event information
Activity Overview
This is a public event - bring your family and a picnic!
A vibrant, family-friendly celebration of local Indigenous culture led by respected Worimi Elder and artist, Auntie Debbie Dates. Settle in for an evening of heartfelt storytelling and knowledge sharing, local Worimi art, and yarns about Lenny's Country – the land, community, and native wildlife, brought to life through the masterful illuminated puppetry of Curious Legends.
Pack a picnic, get creative with hands-on activities, and enjoy an unforgettable night of connection, culture and imagination under the open sky. As Auntie Debbie shares First Nations stories, audiences are invited to listen, reflect, and be guided on a journey of family, nature and deep connection to Country. Throsby Creek Foreshore holds significant cultural importance for the Dates mob and local communities – a place where waterways have long provided food, gathering and cultural practice.
As part of the event, Curious Legends will unveil new illuminated puppets, co-created with the community in response to the powerful histories of this site. These striking works will perform and rove throughout the space, bringing First Nations stories and local history vividly to life.
