Join us for a rare opportunity to step inside the National Trust Queensland’s new Trust Library and Research Centre, located at historic Wolston Farmhouse, with the morning session SOLD OUT, our 1:00pm-2:00pm session has tickets available.

Usually accessible by appointment only, this special Trust Talks event offers an exclusive white-glove encounter with the Trust’s heritage collections and archives. Presented by Heritage Officer Meg McKavanagh, guests will be introduced to the Research Centre and its vital role in preserving some of Queensland’s cultural heritage.

Participants will view a curated selection of six significant collection items and, under expert guidance, don archival gloves to carefully handle rare and delicate objects not usually on display.

Following the behind-the-scenes experience, guests are invited to relax with coffee, tea and cake, and enjoy time to wander through Wolston Farmhouse, taking in the atmosphere of this important historic property.

An intimate experience celebrating history, conservation and discovery.
