THE community is invited to bundle up their historical Ballarat memorabilia to show and spark discussion at the Bridge Mall’s Heritage Weekend event.

From 11am to 3pm on Sunday, 26 May the Pop- Up Museum will be held indoors where exhibitors and visitors can network, discover curiosities and reminisce.

Kathryn Kosloff works on social media and events for the Bridge Mall. She said the team are excited to get the community involved and together.

“We are hoping that individuals, clubs and organisations will share items from their own collections – books, photos, tools, pottery, garments, memorabilia, etcetera – with the public at our Pop- Up Museum on Heritage Weekend,” she said.

“Ballarat locals past and present love the rich history of our beautiful town!”

A collection of classic cars will be on display, and a limited number of gift vouchers will be awarded to stalls or drawn at random.

Registrations must be completed to exhibit. Contact [email protected] to express your interest.
