At the Nimbin Visitor Information Centre you’ll find an extraordinary range of arts, crafts and souvenirs... a tempting array of some of the world’s finest coffee, tea, macadamias, pecans, rainforest jams, muesli, sauces, olives and much, much more. We can also help you find somewhere cosy to sleep, a great place to eat, and tell you where to get a decent cuppa...as well as a whole calendar full of exciting things to see and do...and we can even book them for you.

Nimbin Artists Gallery is an incorporated not-for-profit association and is entirely run by volunteers. We give local artists a venue to display their work which covers a wide range of 2D and 3D art. The work we have includes painting, etching, felting and other textiles, photography, printing, sculpting and woodwork. The gallery hosts the annual Nimbin Autumn and Spring Arts Extravaganzas.

Whilst there are always market looking stalls on the main street of Nimbin, Nimbin Markets operates down and around the rainbow coloured Community Centre on Cullen street, every 4th and 5th sunday of every month. And the REAL magic occurs around the main stage, which is through the main gate of the Community Centre, and down at the back of the grounds. Our market has high morals, and we like to keep everything Handgrown, Handmade, Fair-trade, or Recycled as much as possible. So we have local produce, a variety of healers, excellent recycled and vintage wares, various unique art forms, like wool sculpting, hand crafted leather goods, artisan wood furniture, absolutely incredibly crafted bone carvings, local and organic soap, international food, a variety of unique jewellery, plants, and an amazing main stage where endless playing, jamming, and improvised magic happens between a diverse array of musicians and sound sculpturists. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! It's the vibe, the family feel and the love that really hit the average visitor.
