Eryldene is the most exquisite place in the country

In 2014 the Eryldene Foundation launched an appeal for funds to secure the future of this important place. With no on-going government funding and in the absence of an adequate capital fund the long term future of Eryldene is uncertain. We invite you to click Support and read about the importance of the appeal and ways you can become a valued donor.

Venue hire
In line with the public health orders and NSW Health advice, we are continuing to offer the Eryldene gardens only for function hire.
Indoor access remains suspended because of the small room sizes, but we will continue to monitor the situation and modify our approach as soon as we are able. We’ll update our website and Facebook page with any changes.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Volunteers
We could not manage our schedule of ‘Eryldene openings’ without our volunteers, and we are always on the lookout for new people to assist us.
Volunteering your time and experience with Eryldene is a great way to enjoy the company of like-minded people and support our valuable work in conserving and interpreting this State Heritage listed building and gardens.
Not only is it a joy to be at the property, our volunteers are supported with training and any other assistance they need to make their involvement as rewarding as possible. For their safety, we have Covid-19 Safety Plans in place for all our activities.
