Overview

Whip out the calendar because there’s a new festival in town, and it will take us on a trip down memory lane.

The inaugural Maitland Heritage Festival – which will run over two days in June – is aiming to celebrate, share and promote the long and rich history of our city.

It’s time to celebrate heritage and history.

There will be a wide variety of activities on offer including historical displays, talks, walks, children’s activities, puppetry, musical performances, expert restoration advice and food.

There will also be a number of ticketed events include a heritage dinner at Mansfield House (June 11), ghost tours at Grossmann House (June 12) and Mansfield House (June 13), heritage walks and Devonshire tea at Mansfield House (June 13) as well as a musical recital (June 12).

It’s to showcase our heritage and history to the whole of NSW.

The community-driven event will be held on June 12 and 13 at the Church Street Precinct, with other venues around the city.
