Coming Events Calendar

Community Work Day on Hall Reserve

In February and March, the Progress Association will arrange two community work days. On 19 February we will have a community work day to prepare the areas for the planting of shrubs in the five "clusters" including removal of weeds and soil preparation. On 26 March, the community work day will do the actual planting of the shrubs.

A plan by the Progress Association has been approved by ACT Parks to create five clusters of shrubs under established clumps of trees to suppress grass and weeds where mowers cannot reach and provide understory and habitat for small creatures. Approval has also been given to plant nine eucalyptus trees in keeping with existing trees to replace dead ones.

While contributing to the enhancement of our village environment, these community work days are a great opportunity to work beside our neighbours and meet others in our community.

Free Community Barbeque Lunch

Everyone is welcome to enjoy a free barbeque lunch at St Barnabas Anglican Church in Charnwood. St Barnabas is the sister church of St Michael & All Angels Anglican Church in Hall village.

There will also be raffle with Easter goodies to be won.

Hall Cemetry - Friends of the Grasslands Work Day

Friends of the Grasslands has held regular work parties at Hall Cemetery since 2009, aiming to remove weeds and return the native grasses and wild flowers that were once present. Work parties are held from 9am-11am. Morning tea will be provided. You need to bring your own working tool, and dress sensibly.

Palm Sunday Church Service

Palm Sunday commemorates Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in each of the four canonical Gospels.

St Michael & All Angels Anglican Church will mark this event with its Palm Sunday service.

Hall Markets

The Hall Markets are one of Australia's largest home-made and home grown goods markets.
The markets have a rural theme and are held at the picturesque Hall Village Showground, just ten kilometres north of Canberra.

Barbecues, canteens, live music and other entertainment makes each visit a fun, family day out.
Entry is by a gold coin donation with all proceeds supporting Hartley Lifecare's disability programs and services.

Good Friday - Stations of the Cross

From 11:00 am on Good Friday, the churches of Hall will celebrate the Stations of the Cross walking along Victoria St and marking the Stations.

The Stations of the Cross or the Way of the Cross, also known as the Way of Sorrows or the Via Crucis, refers to a series of images depicting Jesus Christ on the day of his crucifixion and accompanying prayers. The stations grew out of imitations of the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem, which is a traditional processional route symbolising the actual path Jesus walked to Mount Calvary. The objective of the stations is to help the Christian faithful to make a spiritual pilgrimage through contemplation of the Passion of Christ.

Those wishing to participate should meet at 11:00 am at the car park at the northern end of Victoria St near the Barton Hwy.

Easter Sunday Church Service

Easter Sunday will be celebrated at St Michael & All Angels Anglican Church with the 11:00 am service.

Easter (also called Pascha or Resurrection Sunday) is the Christian festival and cultural holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary.

75th Anniversary St Michael & All Angels Anglican Church

You are warmly invited to share celebrations marking the 75th anniversary of the dedication of St Michael & All Angels Anglican Church in Hall.

St Michaels are planning to mark this important milestone with a church service celebrated by Bishop Mark Short on Sunday 21st May 2023, starting at 10 am and followed by a barbecue lunch in the grounds of St Michael's. They are also building a simple lych gate at the newly installed entrance on the Loftus Street boundary. Bishop Mark will be invited to dedicate the structure in honour of this occasion.

In addition, the Hall Heritage Centre will incorporate a small display of memorabilia from St Michaels during April 2023 as part of ACT Heritage Festival.

St Michaels hope that many former clergy, parishioners and families with connections to St Michaels are able to attend – even if we overflow our little church!

National Sheep Dog Trials Championships

Sheep Dog Trials are a highly-competitive and challenging sport. Sheep Dog Trials represent a fascinating insight into Australia's rural life with a compelling spectator experience. Sheep Dog Trials are an example of extraordinary team work between dog and handler.

The objectives of the National Sheep Dog Trials are to:
- Promote the welfare of sheep, dogs and humans (and in that order)
- Promote wide human interest in all classes of sheep dogs and to secure proper appreciation and recognition of their place and use in human society and industry; and
- Promote, in every way, the general improvement of the standard, breeding, working and exhibition of sheep dogs.

The Duke of Gloucester Sash was presented to the National Sheep Dog Trial Association in 1945 by His Royal Highness, Prince Henry Duke of Gloucester during his tenure as Governor General of Australia from 1944 to 1947. The Duke was the younger brother of King George 6th and Uncle of Queen Elizabeth 2nd.

The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh attended the National Sheep Dog Trial Championships on Finals day, Saturday 26 April 1970 and witnessed the Finals competition. The Queen then presented the Sash to the winner of the National Open Trial, Mr. Bob Ross and his dog Yulong Russ.

Every day of the National Sheep Dog Trials is open to spectators.
