Spring into Culture at McClelland

As spring breathes new life into the landscape, McClelland Sculpture Park+Gallery invites you to immerse yourself in a month of creativity, sound, and wonder.

Step into the hauntingly beautiful world of ‘Eternal Oblivion’, a powerful exhibition that explores memory, loss, and transformation through contemporary sculpture and installation; a thought-provoking journey that peers into the unknown — where Heaven, Hell, and The Void collide.

Inspired by Annie May McClelland’s legacy and the McClelland collection, this exhibition dares you to confront death and experience the afterlife through an artistic lens. This evocative show is not to be missed.

Set against the stunning backdrop of McClelland Gallery + Sculpture Park, the McClelland Maker’s Market returns on Saturday 20 September 2025, from 9am to 2pm.

Featuring over 80 handpicked stallholders, this vibrant event celebrates creativity in all its forms: from artisan crafts and homewares to jewellery, art, and unique gifts.

Visitors can meet the makers, enjoy delicious food, live local music, and family-friendly fun — all while exploring the natural beauty of the sculpture park.

Entry is by gold coin donation, supporting McClelland’s ongoing projects. Dogs are welcome on leads, making it a perfect day out for the whole family.

And for something truly unique, don’t miss Music at McClelland: Unholy Racket on Sunday 21 September, a bold performance that promises to shake up your Sunday with experimental sounds and unexpected delights.

Unholy Rackett is a Renaissance wind consort breathing life into rare and forgotten sounds. With core members Jackie Newcomb, Brock Imison, and Simon Rickard, joined by a rotating cast of guest artists, Unholy Rackett conjures the rich soundscapes of Renaissance and Baroque eras, offering audiences a glimpse into a musical heritage often overlooked by today’s early music movement.

Book your ticket now.

Whether you’re seeking inspiration, family fun, or a sonic adventure, McClelland is the place to be this September.

Come explore, connect, and be moved.
