More ways to get out and about
Council also lists the Priors Creek Parklands Artisan and Farmer's Night Markets, held on the first Friday of each month, along with Creekside Family Cinema screenings and other markets around the region. Council notes that the list is only a sample of what is on, and community groups can add their own events to the Council events calendar.
While you are out, it is a good time to support local cafes, restaurants and small businesses across the Tablelands — you can find many of them in the Cenlocal directory below.
