Past Pleasures


Access info

Visit the A Hall on the first floor of the Ballarat Town Hall to view “Past Pleasures”, an amazing collection of images from the Ballarat Historical Society Collection.

Focusing on the theme of “entertainment”, the photographs show how the citizens of Ballarat entertained themselves in the days before television and mobile phones.

This is a free exhibition created by the Ballarat Historical Society for the 2025 Ballarat Heritage Festival.
