Bus trip

 on Tuesday 12th September we had a bus visit to the Piggery, arranged by Nomad Bus Tours, it was a 'Mystery Bus Trip' for about 50 Probus members. I think it was a long day for them as they went to Tizzana Winery, Ebenezer Church, a long lunch at Panthers, a visit to the Secret Garden and then the Piggery. We had a number of enthusiastic visitors... and the Earthcare Centre had people on hand for anyone that wanted to wander through the gardens as well, which has been a popular addition in the past.

Hawkesbury Artists Trail Weekend

The Hawkesbury Artists Trail Weekend this year was a very enjoyable

Hawkesbury Artists Trail

This year's Hawkesbury Art and Artisans Trail is coming up again at the end of August

This year as well as having the six resident artists at the Piggery we will be joined by some of the artists from the Hawkesbury Community Arts Workshop with their pottery and other crafts. We plan to have displays inside and outside the Piggery.

Our Neighbours at the Hawkesbury Earthcare Centre  have been working hard on getting their grounds and gardens in good shape for spring and will be open for visitors as well.

HAWKESBURY ART FAIR

The Hawkesbury Art Fair is on again. The annual event for displaying and selling art by local artists was opened on Friday night 23rd September and will run until 23rd October. It is professionally curated and superbly hung and as usual it looks fabulous!

The Piggery was represented by works from Kym Morris, Sharron Whittington and Malcolm Robertson.

OPENING AGAIN

The  Hawkesbury Artists Trail this year was a success, we had a constant flow of visitors on the Saturday and Sunday, lots of conversations with people who were interested in, and enjoyed Art, and a number of sales too! the weather was good, and the Earthcare Centre was also open and  selling scones and toasted sandwiches. 

We have decided it is time to open the Piggery on a regular basis every first Saturday of the month on a social basis with no particular organised activity, and the Earthcare Centre is also open on Saturdays.

WE WERE OPEN!

Its been about 2 1/2 years but the Piggery Lane Studios were finally open again for the 2022 'Hawkesbury Artist and Artisans Trail'! 

We has some new signs to clearly indicate where we are, the weather was fine both days and  we had lots of visitors. The 'Hawkesbury Earthcare Centre' who we share the corner block with, opened at the same time, and sold soup, toasted sandwiches  as well as their unique seeds and produce, it was a great collaboration and a really good weekend.

We plan to open next Saturday as well. The 'Secret Garden Spring Fair' is scheduled to be on if the weather is fine... and we may gain some extra visitors from that.

HAWKESBURY ARTISTS AND ARTISAN'S TRAIL 2022

 The Good News is that the Hawkesbury Artist’s and Artisans Trail is finally on again this year, after a couple of years cancellations due to Covid 19, and the Piggery Lane Studios will be open on the weekend of 27th and 28th August along with the other participating members of the Trail.
