Great Houses of Charters Towers 2024

If it is history and architecture you love, then you won't want to miss this year's Great Houses of Charters Towers weekend.

The Great Houses committee is hosting two special events that tap into the very heart of what makes Charters Towers so unique.

Do you own an antique item that is special to your family? Make sure you book a ticket for the Antiques and Heirlooms Heritage Tea on Saturday August 24th, 2024. The tea will be held at the Charters Towers Civic Club and will feature guest presentations by local antique experts. During the tea they will entertain you with stories of their experiences of buying and selling antiques, and will happily appraise your unusual and old items. Bring them along for an afternoon of discovery.

The main event for this weekend is the annual Great Houses showcase. 

Have you ever driven past a home in Charters Towers and wondered what it looks like on the inside? Well now is your chance to find out

Three heritage property owners have generously agreed to throw open the doors to their homes so you can see what life is like on the inside of these enviable homes.

On Sunday, August 25th, 2024 from 10am-3pm you can set foot inside and see what special features are contained within each one.
