Walk the pretty streets of Maitland to spot vibrant murals, see artists at work in their studios and pick up works from local creators. Maitland Regional Art Gallery hosts a superb range of touring exhibitions and shows thousands of artworks each year. For an immersive journey through the city’s street art, history, architecture and food, join Umbrella Event’s three-hour A Taste of Maitland walking tour. 

Eat & drink 

Locum Doctors often like to check out the local food scene whilst working in the area. It’s recommended to arrive in Maitland with an empty stomach. The riverside Levee is a good place to begin, with an enticing mix of boutiques, cafes, restaurants and small bars. Then indulge with the decadent cakes and pastries from the nearby Icky Sticky Patisserie. Make the short drive to Morpeth to visit Boydell’s, a cellar door and restaurant inside an 1820s slab hut. 

The Rigby brings a touch of Melbourne’s small bar scene to Maitland, set inside a heritage building and serving sophisticated drinks. Head to The Cabin Collective if you’d like to get a tattoo along with your flat white. Meet the local growers and pick up the freshest seasonal fruit, vegetables, honey, eggs, olive oil and more at Earth Markets. Held on the first and third Thursday of the month, it’s Australia’s first accredited Slow Food Market.
