WHETHER you’re looking to be inspired or simply entertain the family during the school holidays, Kyabram has plenty to offer — from art exhibitions to hands-on activities.

The Kyabram Town Hall Gallery features five exhibition spaces showcasing a rich mix of traditional and contemporary art, textiles, and community projects.

Current exhibitions include Don’t Fence Me In by local plein air artist Raymond Hill, Breaking the Surface by Splinter Contemporary Artists, Connected but Different by Margaret McDonald — a striking display of recently completed quilts — and Lee’s Artist Journey Continues by Lee Nelson.

Looking to unleash your inner artist? Join the Kyabram Town Hall Art Group — an adults’ group that meets on Tuesdays from 5.30pm to 7.30pm, or Thursdays from 10.30am to 12.30pm. All skill levels are welcome, with beginner-friendly tuition in drawing and painting available. Sessions cost $5 per visit, plus a $5 annual membership. Just bring your own materials.

And don’t forget — kids receive free entry to Kyabram Fauna Park on weekends and throughout the school holidays! Set across 55 hectares, Kyabram Fauna Park is home to more than 600 native animals, including kangaroos, koalas, dingoes, emus, echidnas, reptiles and a walk-through aviary brimming with colourful birdlife. The park offers a unique opportunity to get up close to some of Australia’s most iconic species, with daily animal encounters, feeding sessions, and talks from knowledgeable keepers.
