Discover the stories of the people, places, objects, and buildings that shaped the Bathurst region.

Bathurst Heritage Week 2024 runs from 27 April – 5 May.

Heritage Week is the culmination of the Autumn Colours Heritage program and leads up to the annual ‘Proclamation Day’ celebrating the founding of Bathurst in 1815. There is a packed program of events for residents and visitors alike to explore the history and heritage behind the places we live and visit throughout Bathurst. It’s a chance to understand the stories behind how our town came to be the modern, thriving regional centre we know today.
