PoW! is an innovative initiative designed to empower individuals to explore and enhance their mental health and overall wellbeing by engaging with Glenside Hospital Museum’s unique heritage.
Booking details and timetable of our latest events
Tea in the Turret: every Saturday
We invite you to enjoy tea and cake in our quirky little secret space
The turret room and balcony were constructed in 1881 as part of the Chapel. We've transformed this historic and unique space into a light hearted reflection of the museum's content.
Slots are 1.5 hours long and the tickets are priced per person, with a maximum capacity of 4 in the room. A visit to the museum is included.
Monthly event: Stitching Circle
Wednesday 4th June 6-8pm
Join us for a creative and relaxed evening of group sewing. All are welcome from experts to beginners. Expert guidance will be provided by Sara Smith. The aim of the workshop is not to complete a specific piece but to get creative, experimental and enjoy yourself.
Bring your own project or be inspired by our museum's collection and monthly themes.
Paint a mini brain: every Saturday
While stocks last
Join us for a relaxed and thoughtful drop-in activity, that invites consideration on the complexity and uniqueness of the human brain. Each attendee will receive a miniature brain, to be painted as they wish.
No prior artistic experience is needed and this activity has been thoroughly enjoyed by visitors of all ages, a fun activity for kids and a reflective one for adults. The perfect accompaniment to our current exhibition: Mood States.
