NSW Parliament Walking Tour
In a rare opportunity to walk beyond its public areas, the NSW Parliament, an historical artefact based on the Westminster system, reveals some of the traditions and artefacts that have been preserved for the people of NSW.
Peek into rarely seen rooms. Learn about long held traditions and ceremonies linking back to the early history and establishment of the colony, view rarely seen artefacts and treasures from the Parliamentary Library and Archive and meet staff and experts from these areas.
Highlights include a tour of the Legislative Chambers, the Speaker’s and President’s Dining rooms, books donated and signed by Queen Victoria, borrowing records of colonial Members and more. The evening will end with Parliament-themed cocktail, and canapes taken from historic menus.
