The Mural Hall

Unique and textured venue for arts and performance. Nearby bakery has delicious food. I went to a lecture and art show that will stay with me for many years. Looking forward to coming back.

Lovely place.  I wanted to  have a look inside of the studio a bit, but pretty much everything was closed.  Needed to have information before your visiting.

Lovely gardens to explore and right across the road from the Collingwood children's farm.
Cafe on site to, well worth a look.

Lovely place. Lots of beautiful outdoor spaces. A little art gallery inside. You can easily get here using public transport.

Wow, a really special place. (Free entry!) Wonderful buildings, gardens, art spaces, workshops and cafes. An amazing spacious & quiet community asset which, by the way, really needs supporting and funding.
