If you’re interested in playing the ukulele, this is your chance as professional instructors and artists will conduct workshops free of charge. Attendees with their own ukulele at home can bring their instruments to jam with other talented Australian musicians.

Everyone attending Performers, volunteers and Audience members must have a ticket, which will entitle you to admission and a fashionable blue Festival wristband.

A special event dinner at the hotel is also arranged to open the Blue Mountains Ukulele Festival each year, but be sure to check out the details and reserve your spot, as seats get filled up quickly. The various stages for the event will be located throughout the hotel, but some concerts are also extended to other venues, such as cafes and the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre, as they have in the past.

The Carrington Hotel is located at 15-47 Katoomba Street, Katoomba, 100km west of Sydney. The heritage property was built in 1882 and is centrally located on the main street of Katoomba, flanked by cafes, restaurants, galleries, and shops.

The quickest way to get here is to take a train to the Katoomba Railway Station, as the hotel is only a short walk away. It’s around a 1.5-hour drive from Sydney by car.
