Thank you to everyone who came to visit during our inaugural winter arts trail July 2026 🙂

Next up:

Newstead Open Studios artists group exhibition at the Market Building, Castlemaine. November 2026. Stay tuned !

Newstead is just a quick trip west of Castlemaine. Stop for a coffee or a meal at Dig Cafe our local cafe, or our well-stocked Local IGA Grocer for a coffee and pie, have a drink at our ‘local’ The Crown, or visit Welshmans Reef Vineyard a few kilometres north. Don’t forget to visit the Newstead Arts Hub and RedShed Arts Workshop while you are in town.
