Swiss Heritage Day at Willow Bank Heritage Village

Sunday 2nd August
10am – 3pm

Willow Bank Heritage Village is celebrating Swiss National Day with a special open day full of heritage, culture, food, fun and interactive experiences.

As a Swiss Kiwi family, this day is especially close to our hearts. Swiss National Day is usually celebrated on 1 August and marks the founding of the Swiss Confederation in 1291. It is a day of national pride, community, tradition and celebration. At Willow Bank, we’ll be bringing a little Swiss spirit into the village, with more Swiss themed details to come.

Come and enjoy an affordable, fun and interactive living museum just 1km south of Wakefield. With 20+ shop displays to explore, food and drink, dress-ups, actors, volunteers and hands-on activities, Willow Bank is a place to embrace the fun, step back in time and immerse yourself in days gone by.
