Festival of Small Halls is a series of tours that take the best folk and contemporary acoustic artists performing at two of our country’s largest festivals and sends them on the road to tiny halls in communities all over Australia. It is produced by Woodfordia Inc in partnership with many other wonderful Australian festivals, regional partners and great lovers and supporters of folk and contemporary acoustic music. It’s an opportunity for music-lovers from welcoming communities to invite artists from Home and Abroad into their towns, and a way of exploring this vast country in the spirit of hospitality and great fun.

Orange, known as Australia’s Colour City is just a few hours drive from Sydney and within easy reach of the Blue Mountains. When you visit the Orange Region you will discover a welcoming city, rich in history with a flourishing cultural scene. Take a walk around the historic town centre, the wide streets and stunning architecture—particularly impressive examples of the Victorian, Edwardian and Federation periods. The surrounding hillsides produce some of the best fruit, wine and food in Australia. Taste the best of the season at a farm gate or cellar door. Enjoy a locally flavoured menu at a café or restaurant. Orange emerged as the number one place to live in a recent national survey of regional cities. Great health and education services, excellent shopping and marvellous community facilities helped us top the list. And the scenery is breathtaking across all four seasons.

Population: 40,000

Featuring soulful folk singer Claire Anne Taylor and folk powerhouse pair The Small Glories- Cara Luft & JD Edwards.
