We have arranged a unique opportunity to visit an extraordinary private collection of more than 60 sculptures, located at a 4-hectare property above Lake Hayes near Arrowtown.
 

Up to now the only way you could visit this property was to join an annual tour from Australia! The collection includes the work of a range of internationally acclaimed artists as well as an extraordinary installation by local artist Shane Woolridge.
 

Guests will be transported from Arrowtown to the venue by bus and will receive a private tour from the owner. There are two tour options available:

• 10am & 2pm
   

*Note that the bus will depart from the Ramshaw Lane bus stop at 9.45am (returning approx. 12.15pm) and 1.45pm (returning approx 4.15pm).

*Please also note there are limited tickets available for this unique adults only event so depending on demand both tours may run at 10am. 

EVENT DETAILS:

WHEN: Sunday 13 November from either 9.45am or 1.45pm.

WHERE: A private property above Lake Hayes.
 

TICKETS: ACAS members $60/ General Admission $70.00 (plus eventfinda fees). Purchase your tickets here.
