About this Event

Spring into Art at Newbridge

Art, nature, music and history combine in the Central Tablelands village of Newbridge in NSW. Throughout the weekend you can enjoy the Newbridge Art Show, listen to live music at one of the historic churches in Newbridge and surrounding villages, and stroll through the village to the Stringybark Craft Shop, Gladstone Hotel and Olde Bridge Gallery.

Kicking off the weekend is the Newbridge Art Show opening night on Friday, October 17 in the Brian Bennett Pavillion at Newbridge Showground and then “An intimate evening with Simon Tedeschi and George Washingmachine – Gershwin & More” in the magnificent Church of the Blessed Sacrament. Tickets to the concert include admission to the opening night, with refreshments and a free glass of wine. Shuttle buses will take concert-goers from the showground parking to the concert venue and back again.

There are many Tiny Churches to visit and performances by accomplished musicians throughout the weekend. Running concurrently are two 1-day art workshops with prominent Australian artist Paul McCarthy. The weekend will round off on Sunday with live music performances by soprano Monique Rose, Orange Regional Conservatorium's Big Phatt Jazz Band and the Bathurst Panorama Chorus.

Artists are welcome to register online for one or both days of the workshop with Paul McCarthy FRAS. Arrangements will be made for collection of artworks from the art show on Sunday, for those wanting to also register for the workshop.

Purchase your unlimited-entry Tiny Church Trail tickets online and redeem your wristband at the Newbridge Showground on the day. Children under 18 years can enter free.

Please note that some of the premises are privately owned. There may be areas of uneven ground, protruding branches or wildlife. By purchasing a ticket and visiting the churches you undertake to contribute to your own wellbeing by obeying signage and maintaining a safety-conscious outlook.
