Isel House has now closed for the season, and what a successful season it was!

Today we held a morning tea for our wonderful team of dedicated volunteers who welcomed thousands of local, national, and international visitors over the summer season.

It was lovely to get the team together, share some kai, and thank them all for their hard work, dedication, and passion for Isel House.

Isel House will reopen in October.

The last open day this summer season for Isel House is Saturday 25th April!
But don't worry, there's still time to visit this heritage gem - Isel House is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 3pm.
There is also still plenty to do!
The Easter Bunny trail runs for the rest of the school holidays, finishing on Saturday 18th April - there is still time to help us find these rascally rabbits!
On Saturday 25th April, some of Isel's volunteers are hosting two special events to commemorate ANZAC Day. From 10am to 3pm, come along to Isel for help on researching your family's involvement in World War Two - Isel volunteers will be on hand to point you in the right direction for your research. And at 2pm, Isel Volunteer Peter Millward will be giving a presentation in the Isel Drawing Room on a number of Stoke soldiers who have been involved in various conflicts.
So, make sure you get along to Isel House, before the house goes into hibernation for the winter.
