Members Hour: Vaucluse House

Welcome to the holiday edition of Members Hour at Vaucluse House.

Get ready to immerse yourself at the magical harbourside estate and marvel at the beautifully decorated tree. We’re opening our day of Festive Celebrations at Vaucluse House early for members only.

Come for a special Members Hour ahead of everyone else and stay for the full day of family fun and frivolity. Doors open to the public at 10am, when activities kick off for Festive Celebrations at Vaucluse House. Drop in to learn how to make a Christmas garland or book a plum pudding–making demonstration – there’s something for everyone!

Treat yourself to something delicious to eat at Estate Vaucluse House, using your members’ 10% discount, or bring a picnic to enjoy in the stunning gardens.

Visit our sleek, newly refurbished museum shop for your Christmas shopping and enjoy double your normal discount (usually 10%), with 20% off gifts for your Christmas list – or yourself.*
