Over the past ten years, the Glasshouse has established itself as the leading destination for outstanding entertainment, events and cultural experiences.
Over 2 million people have walked through its doors, half a million tickets have been processed through the Box Office and over 400,000 have visited the Regional Art Gallery.
From The Wiggles to Carl Barron, Sydney Symphony Orchestra and even an Ironman Rolldown presentation, the Glasshouse has proven itself as a thriving community hub unlike any other.
The Glasshouse is a unique community asset, setting our region apart from other coastal destinations, attracting new residents and investors to the region.
While the region is blessed with marvellous weather and spectacular scenery, savvy investors and people seeking a new life outside our bustling cities are looking for something more.
The Glasshouse provides that lifestyle edge by bringing "big city' productions and exhibitions to our doorstep.
There's no need to travel to Sydney or Brisbane when Australia's leading performing and visual arts companies tour to the venue.
The Glasshouse also offers a range of public programs, designed to help people at all ages and stages of life to engage with the arts, these include educational performances and workshops for schools; professional development for teachers and artists; and talks and tours for the general public.
"We are delighted to be partnering with Percival Property to celebrate the Glasshouse's 10th birthday with an 'Open House'," said Venue Manager, Pam Milne.
This day is about celebrating the Glasshouse and the vibrancy of our local community
