See some of Bayside’s architectural gems as part of Open House Melbourne

Open House Melbourne 2022 - featuring photos of Bayside Gallery, Billilla, Bayside Council Chambers and Brighton Town Hall.

Join us on Open House Melbourne weekend (Saturday 30 – Sunday 31 July 2022) and see some of the architectural gems Bayside has to offer.

Come along to Brighton Town Hall, home to three community cultural groups: Brighton Historical Society, Brighton Art Society, and Brighton Theatre Company. While you’re here, check out the latest exhibition at Bayside Gallery, Ellen José Art Award for young women, which features artwork from six of Australia’s up-and-coming young talent.

Then stroll across the gardens to Bayside Council Chambers to get a glimpse of where the Bayside City Council meetings take place and be wowed by the interiors designed by Grant Featherstone.

From here, take a short walk (15 – 20 minutes), or drive (5 minutes) to Billilla Historic Mansion, open to the public for guided tours for the first time in 15 years. This is a rare opportunity to see inside this beautiful estate, currently open for limited opportunities while Council undertakes repair works. Finally, spend some time exploring the formal gardens and imagine what it would have been like living here in the 19th century.
