The curtains draw open on Sunday 15 September 2024 to Schwerkolt Cottage Heritage Family Day. Revealing a fun day for everyone to discover heritage trades, crafts and children’s entertainment. 

We are teaming up with Music and Creative students from Box Hill Institute, who will be crafting original songs inspired by historical society archives. 

Check out the digital installation inside Box Hill Library and then enjoy the live performances later at Box Hill Mall. 

The studio at Box Hill Ballet Association will be open, sharing the love of dance through exhibition and opportunities to observe the steps. 

Exhibitions and talks spotlight local theatre, film and performance diversity.
