Sacred Spaces Convent Heritage Tour

The Convent of Mercy Singleton, in the heart of the Hunter Valley, is significant for its size, grandeur, uniqueness and architectural interest, as well as for the historic narrative that the site documents. While it encompasses some of the early local church history, the story of this convent is first and foremost the story of a dedicated, intelligent and enterprising group of women whose influence spread well beyond their established roots.

Heritage Tours consist of an introductory film followed by a walking tour taking in the heritage room, convent, chapel, chancel and gardens and, if time permits, the Sisters' historic cemetery. Commentary is provided by trained volunteer guides.
