Our next Open Day at Yaralla will be on Sunday, 27 October, 2024. The grounds will be open from 9:30 am. Other than the time for your tour you are free to visit the Squash Court and Stables complex, or just wander around the grounds until the gates close at approximately 2:30 pm.

Booking Essential: It is essential that you book a time for your tour as we may not have any spaces available for anyone who turns up on day without having booked. As the tours fill fairly quickly, particularly the early ones, we suggest you book early to get your preferred tour time.

Bookings and payments are online through our web page. Cash payments will only be possible on the Open Day at Yaralla. Please print out your ticket, or save it to your mobile device, which you will need to bring on the day for entry to the grounds and to join your tour group.

Our Tours: These tours, lead by Society volunteers, will be of the grounds of the estate. They do not include the main building, which is in full-time use as a health facility. The first tour commences at 10:00 am and then every half hour until 1:30 pm.

Bad Weather: We expect to be able to run our tours even if it is raining. If we need to vary or cancel tour arrangements we will advise you by email.

Feeling unwell?: If you have been advised to isolate or are feeling unwell, please do not attend. Get in contact and we will give you a credit against a future tour booking.
