| Lush foliage: Have a stroll through Government House gardens, inside and outside. |
Government House will be open for the third time this year on Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 4 for the public to stroll in its gardens.
Visitors may pass by the ballroom, drawing room and dining room where the Chief Executive and Government officials usually hold important official functions, such as banquets in honour of visiting heads of state, and honours and awards presentation ceremonies.
There will be a photo display in the ballroom, produced with the assistance of the Antiquities and Monuments Office, showing old pictures of Government House and photographs of dignitaries received by the Government since 1997.
Government House will be open from 10am to 5pm. All visitors are requested to enter by the east gate at Upper Albert Road and leave by the main gate.
Depending on the length of the queue, the Police may announce a cut-off time for lining up outside Government House to ensure that everybody in the queue can get into the garden in time.
The Government House gardens open to the public six times this year. The ballroom is reserved on three Fridays each month for local charities, non-profit making or public organisations to hold activities that benefit the community.
