Long days, warm nights and more time to explore with Twilight at the Trust.
See our places in a different light.
As the days grow longer and the evenings warmer, National Trust Victoria’s places offer new ways to get out, explore and spend time together. After hours, familiar places take on a different atmosphere: a garden becomes somewhere to linger, a historic house reveals more of its stories, and the walls of a former prison feel different at night.
From twilight at Rippon Lea Estate to evening experiences at Como House and Garden, Old Melbourne Gaol and McCrae Homestead, each event is shaped by its setting. Choose the evening that appeals to you and discover another side of Victoria’s heritage.
Magic hour at the mansion – experience Rippon Lea Estate in the twilight.
As the day turns golden, enjoy the gardens at a gentler pace. Bring a picnic to the lawns, wander beneath the trees, and take in the changing light across this remarkable estate. Perfect for budding photographers, summer wanderers and gatherers of great group catch-ups.
Across January and February, not only access to the gardens at your favourite time – but also a changing program gives you other reasons to keep visiting. With experiences ranging from yoga and croquet to books, birds and the occasional chance to step inside the Mansion – magic hour is at your pace. Come for the evening atmosphere, then make it your own.
