Every textile has a story to tell, and every story helps preserve the history of the Redlands.
Community Textile Treasures celebrates a collection of special textile items connected to local families, memories, and milestones. From handmade garments and embroidered linens to treasured keepsakes and heirloom pieces, each item on display carries a unique story waiting to be shared.
Among the exhibition are pieces lovingly created for family members, treasured sewing projects, inherited textiles, and items that have become cherished reminders of people, places, and moments in time. Together, they create a rich tapestry of community history, craftsmanship, and personal connections.
As you explore the exhibition, discover the fascinating stories woven into every stitch and learn how these treasured objects help tell the story of the Redlands and the people who have called it home.
Finding Magic is an intimate evening of Irish music, storytelling and song that celebrates the traditions, humour and spirit of Ireland.
Featuring Jack O’Leary, Martin Reece, Christian Rizzalli and Sebastian Flynn, the show brings together four accomplished musicians to create an immersive live experience where music and storytelling are woven together with warmth, authenticity and heart.
Inspired by the atmosphere of an Irish kitchen gathering, Finding Magic blends traditional tunes, beautiful songs and captivating stories into an evening that is both entertaining and deeply moving. More than a concert, it is an invitation to slow down, connect and experience the timeless power of shared music and story.
