Festival of Small Halls is a series of tours that takes the best folk and contemporary acoustic artists 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. Surges Bay Community Hall stands on the traditional lands of the Melukerdee & Lyluequonny People.
The little team that could….. 2 years ago, the committee formed to see if they could inject a burst of life into the Surges Bay Community Hall and what a fun few years they have had! From markets to dances, playgroups to business meetings, food vans & special visitors, Santa & the Easter Bunny. Their most common feedback is how much wholesome fun people have had and what a great sense of community they have created.
The hall is situated between tourist towns, Geeveston & Dover only 10 minutes each way to both. The hall grounds have a BBQ area and sports oval utilised by runners, walkers, pet walkers, being a safe community space for everyone.
