Great food

Byron Beachside Market

Byron Beachside Market 150 150 oriel

In the shade of the trees, with a salty breeze.

A view to soothe and some tunes to groove to.

A fabulous spot for a great day out!

We have a Covid-Safe plan in place.  Please remember to: stay home if you’re feeling unwell – wash hands with soap regularly – use sanitiser – cough into elbow – don’t touch face – keep 1.5m distance from others. 

Woodford Folk Festival

Woodford Folk Festival 150 150 oriel

Woodford Folk Festival is a juicy, soul-warming mix of blues-roots-soul, folk-rock-pop, traditional-world, first nations, dance, circus-vaudeville, talks, comedy, street, meditation, visual arts and children.  All rolled into a valley village that pops up once a year.  Henna Harem has attended this event since 1999.

Mullum Music Festival

Mullum Music Festival 150 150 oriel

Biggest Little Town puts on a fair-sized show – utilising it’s best assets, this festival is set within pre-existing venues amongst the colour and life of down-town Mullumbimby.

It’s a hoot!

Sunshine on Splendour

Sunshine on Splendour 150 150 oriel

Like an opium den of self indulgence, people come to the Henna Harem to experiment, to mark, to symbolise and celebrate. They wait, they stay, they laugh and then leave with a beautiful stain, a strong memory and a few new friends.

SITG2013

 

After years earning its endearing side name of “splendour in the mud”, this years epic event looks set for clear skies.

SITG2013-4

 

This year we’ll be hanging out in the badass back corner of the festival near the bonfire, the drive-in and the MixUp Stage.

Splendour In The Grass

Splendour In The Grass 150 150 oriel

Once again, a sold-out event in its Byron Bay homeland, Splendour In The Grass is set to be a blast.

A little nurturing and recovery time out where crystal-chandeliers, drapes, cushions, flowers and gallery lights give a sense of lush and decadence.  Relax while being adorned.

Returning to the Middle Ages

Returning to the Middle Ages 150 150 oriel

Our henna stall has attended the Abbey Medieval Tournament since 2004 providing a traditional henna experience to those visiting Abbeystowe.

Our henna paste is made fresh using natural ingredients. Over the weekend we create traditional designs from Medieval Europe, Persia, Africa, India and Egypt.

Information boards are displayed for public interest with henna use and design trends during the Middle Ages, as well as a long list of countries using henna between 600 and 1600 AD.

We love coming to the Abbey Medieval Tournament in pursuit of fun, inspiration and historical excellence!

In 2014, this event is on 12th & 13th July.
