Mechanics Lane is located on the corner of Frederick Street and opposite the library.
It’s an outdoor space that hosts live music, performances and community events.
Frederick St and Mechanics Lane are currently undergoing redevelopment, with an upgrade that will transform the heart of Castlemaine. Events and art will return to Mechanics Lane once the redevelopment is complete.
