ROLL UP....ROLL UP...... this year's September Exhibition is a celebration to commemorate the Ringwood Carnival, by holding an Exhibition looking back at the PROCESSIONAL FLOATS of yesteryear with kind loans of pictures from friends and clubs who have participated over the years.
Come and see those you remember, those you had forgotten and everyone in between from the early 1900's through to 2000's.

Come in & enjoy a friendly welcome and browse, and maybe, just maybe be tempted by a toasted tea cake with a good value cup of Tea or Coffee

👀 What does Ringwood feel like to you?

Archives are great for keeping local records, but they are limited. They often miss out how ordinary people experience day-to-day life in their town. We need your help to fill in what’s missing. What can you see, hear, smell and feel? And why does this matter?

Join us for a relaxed, creative afternoon exploring Ringwood through your senses. Starting with a gentle walk around town, we'll notice the sights, sounds, smells and textures that make Ringwood unique before creating collages that capture your experiences of the town.

✨ No artistic experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to share your perspective. Together, we'll help create a unique sensory map (as a non-traditional archive) celebrating Ringwood's people, places and stories.
