Make a day of it by exploring the gardens, relaxing on the lawns, or booking a Mansion Tour, or the open house viewing from 1-2pm, to discover the stories behind this grand estate.

Retro food caravans will be serving food and beverages throughout the day. The Lions Club of Carnegie will be running a sausage sizzle from 1.30 until 2pm
