ANTIQUES ROADSHOW
22 March 2015
 
 

Just what is the value of that piece that Aunty Mary left you in her Will?
 
Our very popular Antiques Roadshow which is held every two years is back in 2015.  There is a limit of 3 pieces per person at one time, and there is a charge of  $5 for each item valued.
Refreshments will be available from the newly refitted Athenree Railway Station Refreshment Rooms, situated on site, and the Homestead will be open for viewing.
The day opens at 10am and finishes around 3pm.

THE HOMESTEAD’S NEW FACILITY
The old Athenree Railway Station which used to be situated by the front gate was moved last year to behind the Homestead and refitted.  It now contains a kitchen.  It can be utilised as a meeting venue and is ideal  for holding  small workshops.  It can also be hired by commercial caterers with clients who wish to hold functions in the Homestead grounds  eg. weddings.   For further information call Sheila on 07 863 4242 or email sheilatod7@gmail.com  or Trish on 07 863 5661.
