Originally built in 1902 the hall was first known as the Wandong Mechanics Institute and Free Library. A donation of timber from the Australian Seasoned Timber Company helped build the hall and it was the social hub of Wandong for many years with dances and gatherings on a regular basis. The hall celebrated it's centenary in 2002.
The contacts for our current user groups are listed below, anyone interested in joining in please contact those involved or just come along to the hall on the day, they are there for more information.
WHATS NEWS - MARCH 2024
If you have an interest in the Hall and it being part of Wandong’s Heritage we are looking for new Committee Members or a Community Representative to help with the care, use and it’s upkeep now and into the future.
The Wandong Public Hall (1902) is a special place and the place to hold your special event. In recent years it has hosted weddings, wedding receptions, Australia Day celebrations, art shows, birthday parties, even funerals. While the Wandong Community Centre is under reconstruction, the Hall even hosted the Wandong Community Carols in 2023. It was so successful many attendees asked for it to be held at the Hall annually but unfortunately the Hall cannot seat more than 100 inside.
The Committee of Management recently had the opportunity to purchase cheap rolls of instant buffalo turf which now covers over half of the second level. We always intended to lay turf on the second level but because it is not the ideal time to plant instant turf you will see us there daily keeping it saturated.
Our regular user groups are always keen to have more people come along they are listed below:
- The Craft group attend every Monday, it’s an informal group, bring along some lunch, and something to do if you feel like it.. There is always someone on hand to help with crafty questions in the group and this has been our longest running group.
