A welcoming space for women to connect purposefully.
The Nest Community brings women together to share a love of making.
A house in the heart of Everton Park in Brisbane, The Nest Community is a space to share, learn and support sustainable living through handcrafts. Our philosophy is when women support each other, incredible things happen.
The Nest Community is open six days a week and offers handmade living workshops, a community garden, and our haberdashery thrift shop. We’re a registered charity run by a thriving community of volunteers who love to share their love of making.
All profits from our haberdashery, craft stalls and workshops help us keep The Nest Community running and support our Exchange mentoring program for young women.
Visit us at 720 South Pine Rd, Everton Park, Monday to Friday from 10am to 1pm and Saturdays from 10am to 4pm.
