Dig in to a delicious hot soup lunch as Buda’s Curators unearth the life and gardens of Goldfields legend, Ernest Leviny, plus in-House exhibition that continues throughout the National Trust Heritage Festival.

This year, Buda’s Autumn Garden Ramble and talk runs concurrently with the in-house exhibition “From Mountains to Mullock Heaps: Ernest Leviny UnZIPSed”  and Buda is bundling it all into a special package for the National Trust Heritage Festival

Ryan Garratt is Buda’s Garden Curator. Join him at 11am for an autumn ramble in our 3 acre heritage garden for a very special tour of Buda’s famous gardens, highlighting the influence and distinctive designs of its creator, Ernest Leviny.

Then join House Curator, Sarah Frazer, over lunch as she ploughs into the rich and fertile history beneath this Goldfields migrant success story.  Expect an adventure of Romanticism and Revolutions starting in Leviny’s Zipser homeland of Carpathia, and traversing 1800s Buda(/Pest), Vienna, Paris and London before arriving in Castlemaine. 

For the full experience, enjoy complimentary entry to the House and exhibition included with your ticket.

Exhibition opens on April 4^th and continues throughout the Heritage Festival. General admission applies. Discount applies for National Trust members during the festival.
