Sydney: Oxbridge Picnic in the Park May 2026
No booking required and family, friends and guests are most welcome. Just BYO picnic lunch and beverages, kick back and relax while enjoying great live music in one of the most spectacular outdoor settings in Sydney, the Government House gardens.
Music provided by a TBC band, who will perform at 12:00pm, with further sets at 1:00pm and 2:00pm.
Feeling more adventurous? Then head inside and explore the magnificent State Rooms of Sydney's 'Castle by the Harbour' (between 10:30am and 3:00pm) or go on the garden sculpture walk.
Government House is located inside the Royal Botanic Gardens. The nearest gates to Government House are located on Macquarie Street to the left of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. From there it is a short walk to the main gate of Government House. The nearest train, bus and ferry services are available at Circular Quay (10 minutes’ walk). There is a lift from Circular Quay up to the Cahill Expressway (located at East Circular Quay). From the Cahill Expressway, access to the Royal Botanic Gardens and Government House can be reached. See map at this link.
If you're new to CamSoc NSW or haven't been to an event in a while, this would be good opportunity to meet Committee members (most of whom will be there) and reconnect with others in a relaxed and informal setting.
You will also get to mingle with our colleagues at OUS NSW for a true Varsity experience!
