The Abbotsford Convent

I've been absolutely borderline obsessed with this place for almost 2 years now.

It's a gorgeous, relaxing happy place. Imagine an English country garden, full of farm animals, bakeries, bars, markets, galleries, natural therapists and artists, no more than a few kilometres from the CBD. The trees are often so high you wouldn't know you were in the grimy reach of a major city.

There is also the incomparable Lentil as Anything, where you pay what you feel for delicious vegetarian fare. They also host various events during the week.

Why does The Convent merit a special mention? Well, this Sunday they're having an Open Day where the artists and agencies will open forth their doors and invite you into their world. According to the website: 'Entry to the Open Day is free and the site will be alive with free music and performance, plus food, coffee and many a lively libation to be had. For more information please see the event listing.'
