GOVERNMENT HOUSE CHARITY ‘OPEN DAYS'

FOR PERIOD JANUARY 2023 to DECEMBER 2023

Norfolk Island's historic Government House - built in 1829 and handsomely restored - is generally not open to the public. However, on a number of occasions each year, its formal rooms are open for the afternoon - 1.00 pm to 3.30 pm - for public inspection.

This is to allow opportunities for people to visit and gain an appreciation of Government House's place in the rich history of Norfolk Island as well as to raise funds for Norfolk Island's volunteer charity and service organisations.

The Government House Open Day program is subject to the possibility that scheduled Open Days may be cancelled or changed at short notice because of operational requirements or bad weather such as when it is wet or windy. Visitors must be advised of this fact.

Social distancing practices will apply to all open days.

The Government House Open Day Program will be reviewed in the last quarter of 2023.

The program for community organisations which will benefit from the entry charge of $15 per adult (children under 15 years of age, and accompanied by an adult, are free) is as follows:-

Wed 20 Sept - NI Girl Guides/NI Christian Youth Ministry

Wed 11 Oct - Mental Health Awareness
