Sunday 15 November 2026, 10am to 4pm
Edgar's Mission Sanctuary, Lancefield
Once a year we open the gates and invite you in to meet the animals who live here.
This year Open Day sits alongside World Kindness Day; a day dedicated to fostering kindness around the world.
Edgar's Mission is home to hundreds of rescued farmed animals, each one with a story of how they got here. Open Day is your chance to walk the paddocks, hear those stories from the people who care for them, and spend an unhurried day in the company of the residents who now call Edgar's Mission home.
What's on
Guided tours of the sanctuary to introduce you to the individuals rescued from the industry and promised a home to live the life they were meant to.
Animal encounters run throughout the day. Short, close-up sessions with some of the sanctuary's best-known residents,
Founder Pam Ahern in the afternoon, looking back on the year that was and what's ahead for the sanctuary in 2027.
The Passport Trail, a self-guided walk for kids with checkpoints across the property. Collect them all.
A photography walk for anyone who wants to make better animal portraits, whatever camera or phone you've brought.
Zine-making with Sticky Institute, a drop-in workshop best suited to ages 8 and up.
Face painting, our shop, and a raffle with some genuinely good prizes, including a stay in the Tiny House.
Food and drink
Everything on site is plant-based. Woking Amazing, Oh My Doner, The Kindness Echoes and coffee van The Mylk Bar will be with us…
