FESTIVAL of Small Halls has announced the 44th edition of its beloved touring project will feature Lucy Farrell and Hat Fitz and Cara on the Autumn Tour 2025: Port Fairy Folk Festival to Regional Victoria.

Presented by veteran festival producers Woodfordia Inc, the tour will return to beloved halls and visit excited new communities across the state of Victoria, including a quick dip over into New South Wales.

These stalwarts of community life have been drawn from across the rich and diverse landscapes of the state. Halls of all shapes and sizes will throw open their doors, from the Victorian Alps to the natural mineral springs of the Central Highlands, down to coastal Gippsland, taking in the greatness of the state as it goes.

Famous for their larger-than-life folk festivals over the last two decades, Woodfordia presents a programme to be loved by their core base and new fans alike with longtime audience favourites Hat Fitz and Cara and mesmerising UK-come-Canada songwriter Lucy Farrell.

“I am so excited to return to Small Halls Australia, to explore more of the country through these beautiful halls and the communities behind them” noted Lucy, who along with Hat Fitz and Cara, featured on the New South Wales Resilience Tour 2023.

Hat Fitz and Cara are also gearing up for a great month, saying “we are rapt, chuffed and tickled to be welcomed back into your communities and to share our new songs and stories beneath the roofs of your beautiful Small Halls.”

Festival of Small Halls Autumn Tour 2025 starts on March 5 at the Ballan Neighbourhood Centre, before heading to Port Fairy Folk Festival and 16 other communities across Victoria, including Tarwin Lower on March 28 and Mirboo North on March 29. The tour concludes at Nowa Nowa on March 30.
