Bell Park Churches Tour

The Bell Park Churches Tour celebrates the diverse communities, stories and architecture that have shaped Geelong’s suburbs. Join a walking tour through the unique collection of multicultural churches in Bell Park and Hamlyn Heights, including Greek, Serbian, Ukrainian Catholic and Russian Orthodox churches.

At each church, community members will give a tour of the premises and share the history, design features and development of their church. The tour will be followed by a discussion about migration and its important contribution to Geelong’s suburban life and identity.

A chance for the broader community to learn about and share in the rich culture of these communities, the tour reveals how architecture creates spaces of belonging, connection and cultural expression, and the important role community places play in shaping Geelong’s social and design heritage.
