Almost a Pub Choir ... But more

Youve heard of a pub choir strangers in a room, learning a song together, and suddenly finding themselves in harmony.

This is almost that... but more.

At 2pm on Sunday 28 September, The Village Well will fill with voices. No auditions, no rehearsals, no pressure. Just 40 minutes of guided singing where strangers become a choir, and one song becomes a memory youll carry long after the day ends.

Led by artist Kendall Bryant, whose background as a theatre director has seen her lead choirs, concerts, and shows across Australia and internationally, this Almost a Pub Choir will be more than a singalong. Its a chance to experience what happens when voices, artistry, and community collide.

Almost a Pub Choir is one highlight of The Table: Village Market Gathering a unique participatory artwork unfolding on Sunday 28 Sept at The Village Well. Alongside the once-only ritual of Setting The First Table at 12:30pm, the afternoon will be alive with art-making, stalls, food, live music, and community connection.

The event includes:

• At 12:30, the once-only ritual Setting The First Table begins.
• Free communal art-making, guided by Kendall and artist guests
• throughout the day.
• A Social Mixer of stories and laughter at 3pm.
• Stalls, food, and live music all afternoon.
