The Garden Berry is set to welcome Tracks & Tide Lines to their dining room this March – a new exhibition of recent paintings and drawings by award-winning artist Rebecca Brennan.

Open Thursday 5 March to Tuesday 31 March, it’s the perfect reason to drop in for coffee or a relaxed meal and linger a little longer. All artworks are for sale.

Sky, Earth, Water brings together the work of Rosalie Gascoigne with significant new commissions by First Nations artists Lorraine Connelly-Northey, Janet Fieldhouse and Glenda Nicholls, creating a powerful dialogue across generations and perspectives.

Gascoigne’s evocative works draw on the vast skies, waterways and wheat fields of the Monaro region, transforming found industrial materials into luminous reflections of the Australian landscape. From intimate studies to some of her most iconic pieces, the exhibition highlights the evolution of her distinctive practice.

Responding to Bundanon’s natural environment and their own homelands, the commissioned works by Connelly-Northey, Fieldhouse and Nicholls bring deep cultural knowledge and contemporary site-responsive practice into conversation with Gascoigne’s vision. Featuring more than 20 key loans from major Australian institutions and private collections, this exhibition celebrates landscape, memory and material as enduring forces in artistic expression.

Discover Sky, Earth, Water at Bundanon from 7th March 2026 to 14th June 2026.

The Knights, the bands, the Clans, medieval villagers, singing and dancing will be back at the 2026 Berry Celtic Festival – Saturday 23rd May, for a day full of entertainment.

Come see what medieval life was like in Celtic times. The Berry Celtic Festival steps off at 9.30am with a Grand Street Parade of pipe bands marching in their distinctive kilts, together with representatives of all the Clans, medieval knights, and Scottish Terrier dogs. The Parade proceeds down the main street of Berry and on to the Berry Showground where the rest of the day’s activities are held.

At the Showground you’ll see the marching of the massed bands, musical items, Celtic fiddlers, highland dancing, enchanted singing, and of course, the battles of the medieval knights.

The heavily armoured noble knights on horseback joust one another to see who is the last one standing. You’ll hear the thunder of the hooves as horses charge at one another with the jousting knights aiming their lances at each other. It is full of excitement.

Other knights resplendent in shining armour re-live battles in hand-to-hand combat demonstrating their skilful swordplay.

The Berry Celtic Festival is a fundraising endeavour of the Rotary Club of Berry.

Check the website www.berryrotary.org.au for full details and ticketing arrangements.
