The BEST Live Music Venues in Forest Reefs NSW

The Blind Pig was born from an idea to combine local music, local wines, spirits and beers, and the best of live, local and visiting musicians, into Orange's most fun Venue. We pride ourselves on being the first, and STILL the only venue in the City of Orange to be registered with the "Welcome here" initiative as being a safe place for everybody.

Established in 1928, the Bathurst RSL Club is an integral part of the Bathurst community. With more than 15,000 members, we are a social hub where people can gather for a wonderful meal and great entertainment in a warm and friendly environment. We’re very proud of our exceptional service to our members and the community and we are committed to making everyone who walks through our doors feel welcome. With thousands of dollars donated each year to local sporting clubs, arts organisations, events and charities, the Bathurst RSL really is the heart of the community.
