Wauchope Community Arts Council

Wauchope Community Arts Council Wauchope Arts - arts from the heart The Wauchope Community Arts Hall is just that - community. We have a few hundred members who regularly attend our events.

Located adjacent to Bain Park in Wauchope (off Oxley Lane), it is one of the most intimate venues in the Hastings yet attracts acts of extraordinary quality. The hall is owned by Port Macquarie Hastings Council and is managed locally, for the council, by the Wauchope Community Arts Council Inc. This committee of volunteers oversees the use of this great community resource for arts performances, art house or documentary film nights, concerts, related activities and private functions. Our committee members have day jobs as teachers, nurses, disability workers, business owners, artists and musicians. We happily volunteer at Wauchope Arts because it enriches our lives, as well as providing an unusual experience for Wauchope and beyond. We don’t just put on events – we have also auspiced many fledgling groups and artists and work with other community groups on projects like the Tree Fiesta, which will now be an annual event. Members get discounts at every concert and free entry to our film nights. Membership numbers are growing as more people discover the magic of our gigs … and that travelling to Wauchope is not like crossing the Nullarbor!
