25.01.2022 Check out some of the other halls hosting the Festival of Small Halls. They all look fantastic but we reckon the Kerry Hall will be the best :) - not that we are biased! Book online now so you can check it out for yourself - https://smallhalls.iwannaticket.com.au//festival-of-small- Tickets, tables, platters and workshops can all be booked on this page.

24.01.2022 The Kerry Dance on September 28 (next Saturday) will be a fundraiser for the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation. It has been named The John Shirley Memorial Dance as a tribute to beloved Kerry resident John Shirley who lost his life to brain cancer. The dance will be a traditional old time dance, including a delicious supper. Even if you don't dance it will also be a good opportunity to catch up with friends in the name of a good cause. Please share to let people know. https://ww...w.facebook.com/events/2979742155432194/ All contributions to supper from Kerry residents would be greatly appreciated.

20.01.2022 Time to start planning your Festival of Small Halls night out in Kerry! Firstly you need tickets to get in! Do you also want to book a table and platter? All platters must be prebooked and will not be sold on the night. We are also running workshops this year. We can't wait to hear the Gospel Choral workshoppers get on stage with Cara! The songwriting workshop sounds so interesting as well. Maybe the song you write could be performed in next years locals section of the festiv...al? The ticket page now has everything listed on it, is live and ready to take your bookings for all the options - give it a try now :) https://smallhalls.iwannaticket.com.au//festival-of-small- PS Thanks to all the people who took photos last year and posted them on our page.
