Some of the events we have the honour of being involved with really are out of this world ✨🌌
As part of the Loddon Valley Arts Trail on Friday 2 October, Bigger Than Ourselves begins at the Campbells Forest Hall with a special performance featuring harpist Michael Johnson, astronomer Dr Tanya Hill and extraordinary imagery from the James Webb Space Telescope.
At the Hall, Little Sangria will be serving grazing boxes (included in ticket price), with local w**es from Black Wallaby Wines, before the evening continues at Hillcrest Farm Loddon Valley for stargazing under our big country skies with the Bendigo Chapter of the Astronomical Society of Victoria.
And thanks to the Campbells Forest Community Hub there’s also a chance to win free tickets to this incredible evening. 🎟️
Tickets are available now through Humanitix and are selling fast, so don’t leave it too long if you’d like to be part of it.

Music, astronomy, spectacular deep-space imagery, local food and w**e, and a night under the Loddon Valley stars ✨
✨ WIN A DOUBLE PASS — WE HAVE THREE TO GIVE AWAY! ✨
Thanks to our friends at the Loddon Valley Arts Trail, we have THREE double passes to give away to one of the most extraordinary events on this year’s Arts Trail — Bigger Than Ourselves. 🌌
On Friday 2 October, journey beyond the city lights for an evening of music, astronomy, food and big Loddon Valley skies.
The night begins at Campbells Forest Hall with acclaimed harpist and composer Michael Johnson, performing original music inspired by the extraordinary images captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, accompanied by animated projections.
Dr Tanya Hill, Senior Curator of Astronomy at Museums Victoria, will take us deeper into those images and the stories of the universe they reveal.
Then, as daylight fades, enjoy a spring ploughman’s-style supper box from Little Sangria and w**e from Black Wallaby Wines before heading just down the road to Hillcrest Farm Loddon Valley, where the Bendigo Section of the Astronomical Society of Victoria will have their telescopes ready for some very special new-moon stargazing — weather permitting. ✨🔭
And we’d love three of you to bring someone special along as our guests.
