Star Wars Day: Bathurst War Memorial Carillon Recital and Tours
Celebrate Star Wars Day with a special 1pm Carillon recital, and exclusive behind the scenes tours of the Bathurst War Memorial Carillon.
Star Wars Day Carillon Tours: 12.00pm or 1.45pm
This is a rare opportunity to learn the fascinating history of the Bathurst War Memorial Carillon. Explore the three floors, meet a special guest carillonist, from a galaxy far far away, and enjoy a special playing of Star Wars themes on the instrument from within the clavier room.
Special requirements: tour participants may choose to come in costume today, but must wear flat shoes, be able to climb 61 steps in the tower (20 to the landing, 21 to first floor, 20 to playing level) and have nothing in their hands to hold onto the handrails. Tour duration: 1 – 1.5 hours.
Star Wars Day Recital: 1.00pm
Dress up in your favourite Star Wars costume, and join us in beautiful King’s Parade at 1pm for a free recital on our very unique Singing Tower. A guest carillonist, from a galaxy far far away, will perform for this special Autumn Colours carillon recital, on the Bathurst War Memorial Carillon.
