Walsh Bay Arts Precinct Open Day 8 October 2022

Walsh Bay Arts Precinct

Walsh Bay Arts Precinct has undergone almost 40 years of refurbishment since the Sydney Theatre Company arrived there in 1984. Now upon its completion the whole precinct is being thrown open to the public with activities and workshops for the whole family. And it’s all happening this Saturday, 8 October 2022.
