Drive to Kandos, but stay over

Kandos is a pleasant 3½ hours drive from Sydney via the Blue Mountains. Not impossible for a day trip, but once you get here you’ll want to stay. We strongly recommend at least one night for the full Cementa experience. Over the 4 days and nights we’re presenting works from more than 40 artists – many including performance – and evening events are some of the most popular festival highlights. If you find that accommodation is booked out in Kandos and Rylstone, we recommend looking at Mudgee which is only 40 minutes away and offers its own attractions like wineries and fine dining.
