Top attractions
Get lost in a maze
Westbury Maze is made up of 3000 English Privot hedges standing over 2 metres in height. With over a kilometres of pathways, good luck!
Pearn’s Steam World
You’ll see steam-powered machinery galore at this unusual attraction, as well as household items from bygone eras.
John Temple Gallery
This collection of Tasmanian photographs is well worth seeing, with the framed pictures depicting all parts of the state.

The Westbury Irish Festival is held every year in March, and celebrates all that is Irish. Bands, singers and musicians are part of the fun, and there are also train rides, a jumping castle and an assortment of games and activities for all ages. It doesn’t matter if you’re Irish, English, Aussie or anything else – all are welcome!
