As a popular inclusion to Open House Melbourne, we are fortunate to showcase our property to the wider public through guided tours of the grounds. You are invited to join other Willsmere residents, owners, and your friends in a rehearsal tour led by a volunteer tour guide on Saturday July 21 at 4pm or Sunday July 22 at 11am. If you would like to join a group for a rehearsal tour please register your interest here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NX6TVQN. Each tour lasts for 30 to 40 minutes. Please meet at the front of the building (i.e. in the half circle outside the main building) 5 minutes beforehand. Learn more about the history and architecture of Willsmere and meet resident neighbours. The museum and male refractory ward (bluestone cells) will be part of the rehearsal tours.
Open House Melbourne 2018 is on July 28 and 29. Complimentary Willsmere self-guided brochures will be available from reception at the front and, for a $5 donation, DVDs that show the conversion of Willsmere in the early 1990s. A coffee cart and snacks will be stationed out the front both days and available to ALL!
