Concerts and Events at Langley
Enjoy unforgettable experiences in timeless spaces
A Sunday afternoon concert in the 1873 Lauriston Chapel.
Combining the unique character of Langley Estate with the owners’ 30-year international experience as touring solo musicians, Langley is also a magnificent performing arts venue.
Concert rooms, including the historic 1873 Lauriston Chapel complete with a magnificent pipe organ and concert grand piano, give the ‘Langley Magic’ to a wide variety of cultural events throughout the year.
2021 marked the formal beginning of a new era at Langley, when the Lauriston Chapel was launched as a concert venue. Since then, the yearly seasons at Langley continue to feature artists from around the world, with greatly varied programs, all suited to the intimate ambience of the historic chapel. The ‘meet the performers’ post-concert refreshments in the Langley Hall mansion have become an integral part of the series.
From classical chamber music concerts, solo pipe organ concerts, jazz evenings, solo song recitals, piano recitals and choral concerts to art exhibitions, open gardens and special events such as champagne, or food and wine, tastings, Langley will have something for you to enjoy as an audience member or participate in as a connoisseur!
Please contact Simone for further details about forthcoming concerts. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

Keys of Gold Festival Launch Concert
Thomas Heywood – Organ
Yasmin Rowe – Piano
Bendigo’s Keys of Gold Classical Music Festival is so called as the festival not only features keyboard instruments at every concert, but also features the rich heritage of glorious buildings, grand public spaces and elegant streetscapes all made possible through the discovery of gold in 1851.
Inspired by the vision of the great Victorian architect William Vahland to make Bendigo the ‘Vienna of the South’, the festival will bring Bendigo and surrounds’ multi-million dollar heritage of spectacular pipe organs to life, together with the Steinway concert grand piano selected by Vladimir Ashkenazy himself for the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall and much more.
There are 16 concerts across Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in July 2025 - in 11 venues in Bendigo, Castlemaine, Inglewood and Maldon, with 27 instruments and 45 performers.
Keys of Gold is presented by Bendigo Fine Music. BFM is a registered charity led by a team of people living in and around this beautiful city, aspiring to enrich lives for the good of the wider community through world-class fine music experiences in Bendigo’s unique performance spaces, unparalleled in regional Australia.

Guided Tour of Langley Estate
with Thomas Heywood
A guided tour of Bendigo's iconic Langley Estate mansion, chapel and gardens:
a goldfields landmark since 1904.
Come and experience the 'Langley Magic' with a guided tour of Langley Estate by the owners themselves, Thomas and Simone Heywood.
The Langley Hall mansion was built on the grandest scale in 1904 as the Bishop's Palace for Henry Langley, the first Anglican Bishop of Bendigo; the internal floor space alone covers over a quarter of an acre. The estate also houses the 1873 Lauriston Chapel, now a 100-seat concert room complete with its own newly installed 1875 pipe organ, as well as the 1936 Langley Manor and extensive landscaped gardens.
The estate has a long, varied and fascinating history: from the early Bishops (1904-1919) to over 800 ANZACs recovering from Gallipoli (1919-1926), from Governors-General, Premiers and other dignitaries who have visited and stayed at Langley, to the joie de vivre of the 1,500 infants who lived here during the estate’s time as a Toddlers’ Home (1932-1979).
The walls can't talk - but your tour guide Thomas Heywood can - on this unmissable tour!
