Willow Court Asylum History Tour

WILLOW COURT ASYLUM HISTORY TOURS

Join us on our all-ages history tour of Australia's oldest continually run asylum, still on its original site.  Set in New Norfolk, only a short 35 minute picturesque drive from the capital of Tasmania - Hobart.

Our 60 minute guided history tour will explore the rich heritage and introduce you to the life at Willow Court, the buildings from past to present and most importantly sensitive content through our storytelling in a challenging environment.  Our tours can create a bonding environment, allowing people to reminisce and help connect our past to our present.  It also fosters creativity and encourages visualisation.

Our experienced guides will share almost 200 years of combined history and take you on a journey through the layered history and stories that make our tours so unique.

This is a guided outdoor walking tour around the Willow Court Barracks precinct with some access points not suitable for people with restricted mobility.
