MHPA at Maylands Street Festival

Maylands Street Festival logo

From 12noon to 6pm on 20 May, MHPA will be helping to celebrate the 2018 Maylands Street Festival.  We will have our green gazebo in Eighth Avenue with our portable displays. We will also be serving tea, coffee and biscuits on the verandah of the Old Police Station at 196 Guildford Road and inviting people to visit our displays there.

We have borrowed some 1830s costumes from the Royal Western Australian Historical Society for display at the Old Police Station to give an idea of what fashionable 19th century women might have been wearing.
