Guided Tour

The Parramatta Female Factory Friends are offering a twilight tour of the Parramatta Female Factory with expert guides at 4.30 pm to 5.30 pm. This gives you a chance to see the magnificent national heritage buildings against the backdrop of a setting sun and the glow of the sandstone. The tour will unfold the story of the Factory and what life was like for a female convict.

The tour will finish up just in time to attend the HCNSW's Annual History Lecture held in the same precinct at the WSSH, also known as The Main Kitchen.

Event Cost: $10.76
