Wauchope Community Arts Council are devastated to announce our beloved Hall - home to Wauchope Arts, WRAP - Inclusive Arts, Mosaic Community Choir, Rock'n with Dave and many other community users - will be temporarily closed due to a fire.
At this point all Wauchope Arts Gigs will go ahead at alternative venues. Please check Wauchope Arts Website, Facebook and Instagram accounts for details and we will update ticket holders shortly.
Police are investigating the cause, and we thank NSW Fire and Rescue and NSW Rural Fire Service for their quick action in putting out the fire. Due to several fires in Wauchope on Monday night we would also like to thank the police, who were required to stay at the hall until investigators arrived on Tuesday morning.
Marie Winter from Wauchope Rotary Hall has been particularly helpful in trying to
accommodate some of our activities and we sincerely thank her for the support as well as Shane Clarke from Port Macquarie Hastings Council for quickly organising marine ply to protect the building and organising the repairs.
Further updates regarding re-opening will be provided as soon as we have a clear indication of timeframes.
