Discover Singleton: Art, Culture and Cycling Trails

Singleton offers several ways to shape your travel plans: art and culture, shared paths and cycling trails, a green space in the CBD, and a connection to the Hunter River. Its cultural program and trail infrastructure provide different ways to explore the area.

Art and Culture at the SACC

The Singleton Arts + Cultural Centre (SACC) houses the Singleton Civic Art Collection. The centre also offers an annual program of contemporary art exhibitions by local, regional, national and international artists. The program also includes public events, talks, activities and workshops for all ages. If contemporary art is an important part of your stay, exhibitions, public events, talks and workshops may all be of interest when planning your trip.

The collection and the annual program are two distinct points of interest: the collection is part of the centre, while exhibitions and events are part of the ongoing annual program. If a particular exhibition, talk or workshop is important to your trip, check what is on during your preferred dates.

Cycling and Shared Paths

The township of Singleton has 22 km of shared paths and cycling trails, with the infrastructure continuing to be improved and connected. Cycling is therefore a distinct aspect of trip planning, alongside a stay focused on culture. Compared with the SACC’s annual program, information about the paths answers a different question: it describes the network’s extent and ongoing development, while exhibitions and events take place on specific dates. If cycling is one of your interests, take this ongoing development into account when planning.

Connection to the Hunter River and Green Space in the CBD

The Singleton Sundial forms a gateway to the Hunter River. Baileys Union Park is a green space in Singleton’s CBD, or central business district. These highlight two distinct points of reference: the Sundial’s connection to the river and the park in the business district. These local features complement the cultural and trails perspective with a river connection and urban open space.

Planning Your Stay

The Singleton Visitor Information Centre provides information about local attractions, activities and accommodation in Singleton and the surrounding area. If your plans include both your stay and potential activities, you can find information on both here.

Which focus matters to you depends on the purpose of your trip. For a particular art exhibition or event, timing is important; for a cycling trip, the ongoing development of the trail infrastructure is another planning consideration. This can help you identify your travel interests and then compare them with your personal hotel requirements.
