Upcoming events
Greytown Heritage Trust Annual Lecture
SACRED HEART CHURCH, MAIN STREET, GREYTOWN
Thursday 11 December 2025, 7pm
Dr Susette Goldsmith will give this year’s annual lecture. Susette is a seasoned and expert campaigner for trees, particularly those at risk and often those in urban settings. An independent writer and editor and adjunct research fellow at the Stout Research Centre, she is widely published. Suzette’s research interest is natural heritage and she has a new book to be published in November entitled Capital Trees. If you haven’t already read it, browsing in Mrs Blackwell’s bookshop, you may well come across Susette’s edited compilation Tree Sense: Ways of thinking about trees. This volume is a compilation of essays, art and poetry by artists, activists, ecologists and advocates discussing the many ways in which humans need trees.

The 2026 Greytown Heritage House and Garden Tour offers an opportunity to explore some of the town’s most remarkable properties. This town is renowned for charming settler houses and lush gardens that thrive on rich alluvial soil.
Greytown Heritage Trust’s self-guided tour takes you through the gate, and over the threshold – some of these houses will be opening publicly for the very first time.
Spend an indulgent summer day weaving through the picturesque town’s streets, exploring our evident history. In joining us, you will be actively supporting the conservation of our heritage.
