Hidden Lanes Special Events
Throughout the year, Hidden Lanes presents a collection of limited special experiences designed to celebrate the places, people, history and seasons of regional Victoria.
From elegant winter dinners and festive Christmas celebrations to literary adventures, historic lunches, heritage breakfasts and exclusive behind-the-scenes events, each experience is created for travellers and locals who enjoy discovering a place through its stories.
Many events are offered only once or twice, often in partnership with historic venues, local chefs, artists, performers, authors and cultural organisations.
Some are held in Ballarat. Others may take place in destinations such as Clunes, Daylesford, Creswick or elsewhere across regional Victoria.
No two events are the same.
Upcoming Events
Our current special events are listed below.
Places are often limited and many events sell out, so we recommend booking early.
What Makes These Experiences Different?
Every Hidden Lanes event is built around the same philosophy that shapes our tours:
Small groups and personal experiences
Fascinating stories told where they happened
Beautiful historic venues and unique locations
Thoughtful food, drink and local partnerships
A relaxed pace with plenty of opportunities to connect
Experiences that celebrate the character and history of a place
Rather than simply attending an event, we invite you to step inside the stories that make regional Victoria so memorable.
