RESET (Free)


A spring festival of free family-friendly events, workshops and art about slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and exploring sustainability in creative ways.

Spring is a great time to stop, take a breath and RESET.

RESET is a festival for greener living held at Fed Square during September and October.

RESET is packed with playful, planet-positive events that bring together art, nature, and community in a way that sparks curiosity and joy from muddy play and eco-discos to toy swaps, outdoor films, seed workshops, and more. 

Family highlights include:

  • Mini Beast Disco (30 Sept – 2 Oct): A colourful eco-party celebrating bugs, biodiversity, and self-expression with underground icons Betty Grumble & Dandrogyny.

  • Big Toy Swap (2 Oct): Kids exchange gently loved books, toys & games while learning about reuse and circularity.

  • Earth Children (20–23 Sept): A hands-on cob city-building workshop for little eco-architects (ages 3–7).

  • Outdoor Cinema (30 Sept – 3 Oct): Daily 3pm screenings of eco-themed family favourites including Fern GullyShrek, and Flow.

  • Rooftop Beehive Tours (4 Oct): A behind-the-scenes look at Fed Square’s own rooftop hives.
