Government House Open Day

May 12th 2025

To our Community of Stakeholders and Supporters,

Her Excellency the Governor and Mr Rod Bunten are pleased to welcome people of all ages to explore Government House and its grounds on Sunday 11 May for Open Day, in conjunction with South Australia’s History Festival.

From 10am-2pm, you will be able to see inside the public rooms of Government House, its history and contemporary workings, and ask questions of knowledgeable guides.

Explore the gardens on your own or with a guided tour, taking in the beehives, which produce honey used in the Government House kitchen; the Governor’s Rose Garden, which features a stand of roses celebrating each Governor in our state’s history; the sweeping lawns, vegetable garden and ceremonial plantings, which include a descendent of the Lone Pine at Gallipoli.

Other activities include live music, children’s quizzes, and food and drink vendors.

For more information, visit www.governor.sa.gov.au, call (08) 8203 9800 or email governors.office@sa.gov.au.

Warm Regards,
