An evening of connection and conversation.
Following the overwhelming response to last year’s sold-out A Day in the Hills, we’re delighted to welcome our community back for a new evening experience.
As spring arrives and the canola paddocks come into full bloom, join us beneath the marquee at Rye at Tallis for an evening of beautiful food, meaningful conversation, inspiring stories and live music.
This year, we’re proud to welcome Ben Pettingill as our special guest speaker. Ben is a blind bloke, speaker and podcaster who is passionate about mental health, resilience and making the most out of life. Through his honest, down-to-earth storytelling, Ben will share his experiences of overcoming adversity, embracing challenges and simply having a crack.
A Night in the Hills continues the spirit of the original event, bringing together farmers, businesses, families and community members from across the region to reconnect, share stories and celebrate the strength of rural communities.
Whether you’re coming with friends or joining us on your own, everyone is welcome.
This is an adults-only event (18+), creating a relaxed evening where guests can socialise and fully engage with the stories, conversations and entertainment.
Seats are limited, so book early to avoid missing out.
