Greetings, intrepid explorers of the unknown. We have been waiting for you. What you are about to witness is a realm where the boundaries between reality and dreams blur, untold stories are shared, and mythical creatures reunite under the cosmos. Here, the disco ball is your compass and the music your guide.

Information

When and where is this mystical event?

What the flaming heck is Lions Den?

What began as a creative outlet for a group of friends itching for a dance amid Covid lockdowns, this larger-than-life farm party is back for a 5th edition!

We kindly ask that you help us cover the costs of hosting by transferring to the bank account listed after you register as part of your registration so that we can continue to let our incredibly talented friends entertain you for the weekend!

As a private, 18+ event on private property this is only for people who are invited and is in no way open to the public.

Can I bring a pal?

Lions den is a private, 18+ event which is invite only. While we are always eager to expand our circle of friends, please understand that we have a capacity limit.

Please message Angus Nicholson, David Wilson or email lionsdengathering@gmail.com directly to enquire in but know if we have to say no it’s only from a safety perspective.

Proof of email invitation and proof of donation will be required for entry to Lions Den.

What's the theme this year?

Untame the mane and calibrate your compass. This year's Saturday night theme is disco safari.

What should I pack?

As you prepare yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and metaphorically to embark on this journey, here's what you'll need to bring:

  • Camping Gear: Your home away from home, where you'll recharge for each day's adventures.
  • Costume: Your sartorial expression of your innermost self.
  • Liquid courage: Cans only, please.

For a more comprehensive guide on how to optimize your experience, consult Rob's Packing List. He's our seasoned party sage and his insights are invaluable.

Is there food and drink provided?

No. BYO or perish. Communal BBQs will be available if you wanna fry up some snags.

Why is it more expensive to register this year?

More mons = more fun. The additional investment covers what it costs for an extra day of revelry and exploration, plus plenty more unexpected gifts throughout the weekend.

Lions Den is run as close to cost price as possible with any profits donated to charity. Last time we managed to raise $500 for the Fred Hollows Foundation and this year is no different, with any remaining money being donated to Fred Hollows, specifically for the work they do in Aboriginal communities.

Who's the mystery headliner?

Woah, those giraffes are sick!

They're the genius of our good pal Kai.

Rob's Packing List

The air gets a little thinner out here, so we don’t blame you if you start to feel lost in the disco haze. But, never fear, our party shaman and all-round-good-bloke Rob is here to help. As a well-seasoned party-goer and Elon Musk Indiana Jones Bear Grylls enthusiast, he’s carefully curated a list of essentials to pack if you wanna survive and thrive in the enigmatic disco safari:
