Travel back in time at Emo Court and Parklands this August

The historic venue has planned a wide range of events for National Heritage Week 2024.

Travel back in time at Emo Court and Parklands this August

As part of National Heritage Week 2024, Emo Court and Parklands will be transporting guests back to the early 1900's through music.

One hundred years ago, music parties at Emo Court were a common event, and extended onto the lawn from the Rotunda.

Experience this for yourself as organisers recreate the atmosphere with 'Gramophone Sunday' on the lawn.

"Join us on the lawn to recreate this atmosphere, where the distinctive crackle of a gramophone needle will transport you back in time," organisers said.

Spend a leisurely hour listening to a variety of music that was popular at the time.

Organisers of this free event have asked attendees to bring their own picnic blanket or seating.

Gramophone Sunday will take place from 3-4pm on Sunday August 18.
