Newtown Neighbourhood Centre (NNC) can’t host Newtown Festival in 2020 due to pandemic restrictions – but it is inviting locals to have a small (Covid-safe) party at home with friends and family to celebrate what the annual festival means to them.

Newtown Festival Backyard Party is this Sunday November 8 – and NNC is offering lots of ideas to make your backyard party feel like the festival is right there in your own home.

All registered parties go in the draw to win a $100 Westfield voucher. Plus, you have the chance of winning a private Young Henrys gig at your Backyard Party, featuring local legends Andy Golledge and Caitlin Harnett.

Without events like the festival, NNC would not be able to develop new initiatives like its Newtopian Homeless Outreach volunteer project or the Homelessness Services Co-ordinator role – both of which directly support rough sleepers and create pathways for vulnerable people to housing and support services.

So please host a party and donate to Newtown Neighbourhood Centre here.

Also, make sure you tag your party photos @newtowncentre on Instagram and Facebook and also include #NFBackyardParty and #NewtownFestival2020.

Register today at www.newtownfestival.org

The Substance

Lindsay Cohen -
As a man in his 50s featuring all the normals for someone of my age – middle-age spread, tinnitus and going grey and bald to name a few – but still fit, physical, clever and switched-on to name even more, my attraction to The Substance was admittedly driven in large part by my attraction to 61-year-old Demi Moore.

Ten Years to Home

Catherine Skipper -
A production made possible by the collaboration of the Nautanki Theatre and KXT Bakehouse, Sonal Moore’s autobiographical and tender-hearted Ten Years to Home tells the story of the South Asian diaspora through the eyes of three generations. The play, while looking with clear eyes at the difficulties of immigrant families, also celebrates the contribution made by Indian traditions and beliefs to a culturally diverse Australia.

Combining modern love with classical sounds and jazz

Brittany Johnson -
If your Pinterest boards are trending cosy Nancy Meyers interiors, a visit to Shakespeare and Company is on your Paris bucket list, and the rule in your house is lamps only (ceiling lights are for emergencies), then you need no introduction to jazz-pop artist Laufey (pronounced lay-vay).
