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 spectacular 1875 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 Deluxe High Teas, guided tours, 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!

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!
