Watch the day fade into evening during Sunset Evenings at Retford Park, when the gardens glow and the house comes to life by lamplight.

Savour the quiet beauty and peaceful atmosphere of Retford Park after dark, without the crowds.

Begin your evening with drinks and canapés served on the elegant front verandah of Retford Park’s ‘Portuguese Pink’ mansion, as the setting sun bathes the gardens in a warm golden glow.

We are delighted to be partnering with Sondara Estate Wines who will proudly feature their internationally award-winning Sauvignon Blanc and Rosé, as well as their beautiful Pinot Noir – all 100% estate grown and made right here in the Southern Highlands.

Hosted during Tulip Time, this is a rare chance to enjoy the property at dusk, when the grounds are at their most serene and to capture stunning sunset photos.

As twilight deepens, you’ll be guided through the historic 1887 house, softly illuminated by lamplight. Our experienced guides will introduce you to the former residence of James Fairfax AC and share the stories behind the incredible collection of 16th, 17th & 18th Century furniture, fine art and textiles that lie within.

Places are limited for this special after-hours experience. Don’t miss the opportunity to see the estate in a completely different light.
