With the State Government lifting some restrictions, we are in discussions with The Shire about the reopening of public facilities. Until these details are worked out, The Sorrento Museum will remain closed unless by appointment. . . If you’d like to make an appointment go to our Contact Page HERE
We wish you and your family Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

From deep in the orlop deck of our archives, we find an old recipe book.
It dates from the 1920s – 50s but we don’t know who’s it was.
So if you’ve got time on your hands over the weekend, give it a try and show us the results.
Let us know if you recognise the writing or the recipe.
