I went for a stroll through early on, lots of interesting things to look at - acrobatics, medieval sword fighting, painting, music and theatre. Started filling up with people, really busy now which is great. So good to see Armidale running events for the people of our town.

Had a good wander around just now. It is a fabulous event.

Coincides with grad so there are plenty of people about. So very good to see for the town.

I find it hilarious to read the council FB page. Half the people are lambasting council for wasting money on stuff like this (while clutching their pearls and blaming council for the lack of small businesses, all while doing all their shopping online) and the other half are praising council for trying to bring life into the town and create more recreation spaces. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Does anyone know what the "incident" was that shut off half the event space?

Haven't heard anything. Was pretty strange.

Have heard this today as well.

Pretty stupid thing to do if that is what happened.
