Step into the story of Anlaby and take a guided journey through a property shaped by wool, vision, labour and the people whose lives were deeply connected here.

This special History Festival tour explores the connections that made Anlaby what it is today. From the owners who shaped the estate, to the staff whose daily work kept it running, this is a chance to move through the house, gardens and working spaces with a deeper understanding of the people behind them.

As you pass through the grand principal rooms of the homestead, the butler’s pantry, scullery and kitchen, and out into the heritage-listed gardens, you will follow the story of wool and the way it connected every part of life at Anlaby.

This is more than a house and garden tour. It is a journey through the spaces where life unfolded, and the stories that still echo through Anlaby.
