Bring your love of exploring markets to Redlands Coast, where regular farmer and craft markets offer a tantalising range of fresh produce and unique items. Browse the stalls at quaint, community markets, twilight craft markets right on Raby Bay Harbour in the village of Cleveland, island markets, organic markets and more. With coastal calm flowing in on ever-present bay breezes, Redlands Coast offers the perfect relaxed ambience for discovering the naturally wonderful marketplaces across the region.
Islands are places of crossing. Just as ferries bring communities together across the Redlands Coast, music becomes the vessel through which stories are shared. In this concert series, opera leaves the grand theatre and comes to the Redlands.
Renowned in Victoria for bringing top level artistry to the tiniest rural towns, 'Opera in the Country' tours for the first time in Queensland to present five intimate classical music concerts across the picturesque North Stradbroke, Coochiemudlo, Russell and Macleay islands.
From Bizet's Carmen to works by Australian icons Margaret Sutherland and Miriam Hyde, each work has journeyed far before arriving here on the shores of our islands, to bring us together for an afternoon of beauty and musical connection.
Free pre-concert music workshops for kids and post-show chats with the musicians promise a fun and fulfilling day out for everyone. (No booking required for the kids' music workshops, which run for 45 minutes, starting 1.5 hours before each concert.)
