Shire supported events this month
If there’s one word to describe the diverse range of events supported by the Shire during March, it’s celebration.
The legacy of beloved arts champion Anne Shepherdson OAM will be honoured with the opening of the newly revitalised Anne Shepherdson Courtyard at the Shire’s premier arts and cultural venue, HEART - Nala Bardip Mia, followed by a special Sunday Sundowner which will see the lawns outside the venue transformed into a pop-up festival of circus and music.
Our partners, Nature Conservation are also leading a celebration of Wooditjup Bilya (Margaret River) with a fantastic series of events for the inaugural River Celebration Week.
On top of that, the Margaret River Theatre Group’s latest production Cinderella In Space will showcase the outstanding talent of our Shire’s brightest rising stars, and there's some great workshops from our community partners MindED and the Margaret River Business Network, the FREE weekly Groove as you Move program from Movement Solutions and a chance to learn music production skills at the BeatLab Weekend.
We’re so proud to support these diverse events through our grants program and community partnerships to celebrate the place we call home and the people who make it so special.
