October 6th, 2025Hatch – Match – Despatch: new exhibition

Hatch – Match – Despatch is a new exhibition by the Daylesford Historical Society to be held at the Daylesford Museum on Saturday, October 11 from 11am to 3pm.

The exhibition draws on three significant stages of life: birth, partnering and passing. The museum collection is showcased to highlight these events and includes baby bonnets, christening gowns, wedding dresses and mourning outfits.
Many wedding photos from local and district families will be shown and the community is encouraged to bring along their family photos to have them digitised into the community collection. The exhibition is curated by fabric conservator Larry Edwards and generously supported by the Rosalind Pyers memorial exhibition support fund.
Daylesford Museum is at 100 Vincent Street, Daylesford. Entry costs are $5 for adults with children and society members free. Link: www.daylesfordmuseum.net
