What’s on

Edrington Great Art Show Held over two floors in the historic homestead of Lord and Lady Casey, this art show is being touted as "simply the greatest art show in the south east". Hosted by Provenance Artists Inc, a not-for-profit society of artists based in the City of Casey, this is the 23rd annual show. This is a major art event especially that it is held in the magnificent historical homestead which is normally closed to the public. Besides the art, this is a special opportunity for local residents to view and inspect the homestead. Saturday 25 March and Sunday 26 March 10am to 4pm.
