The event is free for the public to attend and watch, and there will be a canteen and bar running, with profits going back into the showground and smaller community groups. Watch horsmanship and stockmanship in action during this unique country event showcasing farming techniques and skills.

The first time singer-songwriter Heath Cullen walked into the Windsong Pavilion at the Four Winds site he knew it was special. Immediately his mind turned to recording in the space. Cullen gets his wish as an audience accompanies him for a live recording on Sunday afternoon, April 21. Instead of a traditional stage at the front of the room, Cullen and his band will be immersed in the audience - stationed in the middle with the audience seated around them.

Enter the world of photographer and avid world traveller and admirer, Paul Hogie who has created an exhibition filled with imagery and impressions. Taking his trusty Nikon cameras along on his adventures, Paul has aimed to bring the colour and capture the diversity he has seen in some of the world's more interesting places. Accompanying each photograph is a small commentary to provide the context of the scenes and what he was thinking as he pressed the shutter. Whether you are longing to travel or have taken trips around the globe for holidays previously, there are photos to amaze you. The free exhibition will be running at The Twyford in Merimbula, from 10am to 4pm, and will be closed Anzac Day from 10am to 12pm noon.

April 26 - May 15

In Art in the Garage's latest exhibition, the artists have produced works which will take viewers to places both real and imaginary which have inspired those creating the works. From a life-changing journey to Uluru, to a fanciful festivity in Africa, or even the botanical gardens that make you wonder if you're on another planet. Tulgeen Disability Services had employed Bega Valley practising artists to nurture the individual creativity of emerging artists with disabilities through sensitive mentorship, within a small car garage turned studio in Bega. The creativeness from these sessions had built bodies of work, which will be on display at Spiral Gallery on 47 Church St, Bega.
