What's On

It's wonderful to see the easing of restrictions and the extremely low number of COVID-19 cases in South Australia. Whilst this is very exciting and encouraging news, it will still be some time before we are able to return to our full capacity of 220. UKARIA's Cultural Program will therefore remain on hold until 30 September.

Over the coming months, we will continue to monitor the situation closely, and communicate regular updates (via email, social media and our website) as the situation develops. In the meantime, please stay safe and well, and we look forward to seeing you all back at UKARIA later in the year.

Give the ultimate experiential gift of music in nature by purchasing a UKARIA gift voucher for family and friends.

In 2020 UKARIA is trialling a bus service from the Adelaide CBD to the Cultural Centre for all concerts on Sunday Afternoons, and for our dusk series The Magic Hour.
