Clock Tower Tour
Discover the hidden secrets of your heritage-listed City Hall building with a guided tour of Brisbane’s iconic Clock Tower. The Clock Tower Tour is a “must do” while in Brisbane! For many years, City Hall’s Clock Tower elevated the building to Brisbane’s tallest, offering visitors a magnificent 360 degree view of the city around them. Whilst the view has changed significantly over the last 90 years, the time-honoured tradition of “taking a trip up the tower” happily continues at Museum of Brisbane. The Clock Tower Tour includes a ride in one of Brisbane’s oldest working cage lifts, a look behind Australia’s largest analogue clock faces and time to explore the observation platform that shares a unique perspective of your city. See if you can catch a glimpse of the bells! Make a booking online today to secure your spot! Spaces are limited and fill up quickly.

Lord Mayor's City Hall Concerts - Riverside Guitar Ensemble
Lord Mayor's City Hall Concerts presents Riverside Guitar Ensemble. The Riverside Guitar Ensemble is resident at the Queensland Conservatorium and brings together Queensland’s finest young professional guitarists with current guitar students from the Conservatorium guitar department. The ensemble is directed by Karin Schaupp and has performed extensively at festivals and concerts throughout South East Queensland and Northern NSW, and most recently they were invited to perform at the Adelaide Guitar Festival. It is rare and challenging for a guitar ensemble of this size to perform unconducted, making it function much like a chamber orchestra and resulting in a very strong sense of communication amongst all members. Riverside continues to challenge the boundaries of repertoire for this unique ensemble combination. The ensemble’s premiere recording of Ginastera’s Dream by Brazilian composer Chrystian Dozza has been internationally released on Dozza’s new CD. The ensemble continues to premiere and commission new works, including works by young Brisbane composers. This Lord Mayor's City Hall Concert is produced by Anje West.
Tai Chi Qigong
This dynamic activity is invigorating and will help you feel relaxed, refreshed and calm. Rejuvenate your body and learn to create a tranquil mind. Join any week.
Aqua yoga
This is a low impact form of exercise that supports the body while still providing function and movement. Many yoga poses that you do in a class can be adapted for the pool, sometimes using the pool walls as if it were the studio floor.
