📍The Falls – just 15 minutes north-east of Orange, a short walk in and surrounded by beautiful native bushland 🥾

Out on the many walking tracks in the region, the noise fades and the smaller sounds start to matter. A breeze through the trees, the rustle of gum leaves, a hidden creek running steady. Winter here is a good time to step back from reality and tune into nature - you’ll just have to rug up a bit🧣

Step into another world this winter at the Newbridge Winter Solstice Festival - a weekend of fantasy, fire, and festivity.

On June 20-21, the small town of Newbridge transforms into a Viking-era village complete with blacksmiths, costumed performers, live music and street theatre.

From archery demonstrations to battle reenactments, drumming and fire twirling to a spectacular wickerman bonfire, this niche but much-loved community event brings together fantasy fans, families, and curious travellers alike.

Saturday is the big day, with the full program of entertainment including a costume parade, food vendors, dancers, and more. Don’t miss the Nova Hollandia Knights in action, Kids Knight School, and a whole world of medieval-inspired fun.

🎟️ Entry is just $10 (U16s free)
📍Newbridge
🗓️ Friday 20 – Saturday 21 June
A celebration of the solstice, a gathering of kindred spirits, and one of the most unique winter events in regional NSW.
