Find Out All About Free Sydney

You don’t need a wad of cash to have fun in Sydney as there is an array of funky and free happenings on offer. Peruse some of the city’s best art galleries, enjoy some summer tunes with a view or stretch it out with some yoga – all without breaking the bank.

Here’s how:

Art

Channel your inner creativity and feast your eyes on some free art. Explore the permanent exhibitions at The Art Gallery of NSW and then head to nearby Artspace in Woolloomooloo to browse some local works. Head over to the Inner West and check out Sydney favourite White Rabbit Gallery in Chippendale that celebrates contemporary Chinese art and houses an incredible tea house – complete with a delish dumpling menu.

Yoga

Sydney boutique Sorry Thanks I Love You have partnered with non-profit mental health advocates OneWave to offer free yoga every Monday and Wednesday evening in the CBD. It’s the perfect way to find some zen after a long day in the office or get that summer body you’ve been dreaming of, all while supporting a great cause. Save your spot here.

Music

A million dollar harbour view and some quality summer beats may sound pricey but it’s not. The Museum of Contemporary Art’s free annual summer music series Sounds on the Terrace is back for another year. Make sure to bring some loose change to enjoy a cold one from Young Henrys. The next session is December 6. Also, you can enjoy Art After Hours at The Art Gallery of NSW that is open until 10pm each Wednesday and hosts free performances by popular musicians in the main lobby area. Past performances have included Katie Noonan and Monsieur Camembert.

Comedy

Laughter is the best medicine and you can get a very large dose of it thanks to some local comedians. Head to the Eveleigh Hotel this Sunday for their monthly stand-up night or visit the Louis Hotel each Thursday for Crown Comedy – giggles guaranteed. And the best part…? No cover charge!
