Roll On

Overview

If your ideal Sunday is resembles something out of a Fitzgerald novel, then you might want to ‘roll on’ over to href="http://www.hht.net.au/museums/vaucluse_house">Vaucluse House. On November 3, the historic estate in the harbourside suburb of Vaucluse is open for (over-18s only) play.

So dress in your Sunday best and ride a vintage double-decker bus from the city to this gothic revival mansion and enjoy a leisurely day of lawn games, live music and picnicking with Pimms. If that’s not enough to entertain you for five hours, guests can take bookbinding workshops or enjoy cooking classes and tastings from colonial gastronomer Jacqui Newling.

‘Roll on’ is part of a program of Sydney Living Museums events surrounding the Eat Your History exhibition that offer gastronomic experiences inspired by Sydney’s historic homes, gardens, and kitchens. They’ve partnered with Wildwon Projects to host Roll On and later on in February, Stories from the Cellar at Elizabeth Bay House.

History buffs and leisure lovers alike are welcome. Not sure what to wear? Check out their vintage-inspired pin board for inspiration.
