Picnic at Carlton Gardens

With summer just around the corner and the days getting longer, it’s the perfect time for another relaxed NeuroSparks picnic!

Join us for a laid-back afternoon at Carlton Gardens — an easygoing social catch-up where you can unwind, connect, and enjoy the outdoors before the end of the year.

When: Saturday 29th November
Time: 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm (come and go anytime)
Where: the large fountain in front of the Exhibition Building (south side) in Carlton Gardens.

If the weather turns bad, we’ll meet inside the Melbourne Museum lobby and find a spot indoors.

What to bring (optional):
• Food, snacks, or drinks to enjoy or share
• Picnic mats, foldable chairs, or blankets
• Games or cards if you’d like to keep things lively

Nearest transport:
• Trams 86 or 96 (stop 9 Melbourne Museum)
• Parliament Station (short walk)

The event is open to anyone neurodivergent — and anyone who values connection, authenticity, and good company.
