BRIDGETOWN was granted Historical Town status by the National Trust of Australia in 2000, and is the only town in the South West to be granted this.   

Nestled amongst the hills of the Blackwood River Valley,  Bridgetown has a unique blend of old world buildings and modern day facilities.  Home to a vibrant community of artists, musicians and wood craftsmen - there is something to interest everyone.  Visit our many art galleries, have a coffee at one of our cafes, visit a winery , Cidery or perhaps one of our beautiful gardens that are open to the public.  Home to the unique Brierley Jigsaw Gallery - a must see! 

Bridgetown plays host to a number of festivals or sporting events throughout the year.  Come to the “Blues at Bridgetown” or the “Festival of Country Gardens” in November, “Blackwood Marathon Relay” in October or the Blackwood River Chamber Music Festival in April.  September sees the River being used for numerous boating events.  Tennis, Golf and Bowling Tournaments are also regular features.
