Fifty Year Celebration Polocrosse Carnival

In 2025, Hall Polocrosse Club celebrates 50 years of competition. To celebrate the 50 years, a Polocrosse Carnival will be held at the Hall Polocrosse Field.

Polocrosse has long been known as the "King of the One Horse Sports". Having originated in Australia (indeed in New South Wales) in 1939, we are proud to call it an Australian made game, which is now played Internationally. Polocrosse is an action-packed, team sport often referred to as Rugby on horseback. It is a family orientated sport with grades to cater for all levels of ability from the novice through to highly experienced and competitive riders. Polocrosse is unique in that it is a sport in which the whole family can play at the one event, often in the same team. Players range from 5 Years of age through to just over 80.

The Polocrosse Association of NSW aims to provide players and supporters with all the information you need to get the most out of polocrosse. Our website also contains useful information for people interested in learning more about polocrosse. This site is regularly updated with the latest news, upcoming events.

Good Friday - Stations of the Cross - combined churches of Hall

From 11:00 am on Good Friday, the churches of Hall will celebrate the Stations of the Cross walking along Victoria St and marking the Stations.

The Stations of the Cross or the Way of the Cross, also known as the Way of Sorrows or the Via Crucis, refers to a series of images depicting Jesus Christ on the day of his crucifixion and accompanying prayers. The stations grew out of imitations of the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem, which is a traditional processional route symbolising the actual path Jesus walked to Mount Calvary. The objective of the stations is to help the Christian faithful to make a spiritual pilgrimage through contemplation of the Passion of Christ.

Those wishing to participate should meet at 11:00 am at the car park at the northern end of Victoria St near the Barton Hwy.

Easter Sunday Service

Easter Sunday will be celebrated at St Michael & All Angels Anglican Church with the 11:00 am service.

Easter (also called Pascha or Resurrection Sunday) is the Christian festival and cultural holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary.

Sri Chinmoy Canberra Trail Running Series - Gungahlin Gallop

Canberra's north side hosts the Series finale. The track from Hall through to Oak Hill along Gungahlin's northern fringing ridge is the Rolls Royce of Canberra Trails. Especially commissioned for the Centenary Trail project, this beautifully sculptured track is a work of art, a trail to fall in love with... To fully appreciate the varying vistas in each direction, you really need to run this wonderful track both ways. That's why we've designed this course as an out-and-back.

Starting and finishing at Hall's historic Showground, both courses ascend to the summit of One Tree Hill, from where the 31km continues following the ACT/NSW border. Enjoy one of Canberra's deluxe running experiences.

Sorry, no dogs – because parts of these trails pass through areas where dogs are not permitted, runners are not allowed to be accompanied by dogs in this event.

Park at the Hall Showground, at the end of Gladstone St, Hall. The 31km race starts at 9 a.m.; the 10km & 2km races start at 10 a.m.

National Sheep Dog Trials Championships

Sheep Dog Trials are a highly-competitive and challenging sport. Sheep Dog Trials represent a fascinating insight into Australia's rural life with a compelling spectator experience. Sheep Dog Trials are an example of extraordinary team work between dog and handler.

The objectives of the National Sheep Dog Trials are to:
- Promote the welfare of sheep, dogs and humans (and in that order)
- Promote wide human interest in all classes of sheep dogs and to secure proper appreciation and recognition of their place and use in human society and industry; and
- Promote, in every way, the general improvement of the standard, breeding, working and exhibition of sheep dogs.

The Duke of Gloucester Sash was presented to the National Sheep Dog Trial Association in 1945 by His Royal Highness, Prince Henry Duke of Gloucester during his tenure as Governor General of Australia from 1944 to 1947. The Duke was the younger brother of King George 6th and Uncle of Queen Elizabeth 2nd.

The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh attended the National Sheep Dog Trial Championships on Finals day, Saturday 26 April 1970 and witnessed the Finals competition. The Queen then presented the Sash to the winner of the National Open Trial, Mr. Bob Ross and his dog Yulong Russ.

Every day of the National Sheep Dog Trials is open to spectators.
