What’s On In July

Hello July!

 

School Holidays have officially arrived again, which thankfully due to the restrictions easing, will be much easier to enjoy this season.

With venues now being able to seat over 50 people (dependent on their size) and most of our parks, attractions, museums, cinemas and markets officially reopening, there is plenty of fun things to get up to in our thriving community again, whilst also supporting local businesses.

Rug up with the family to experience the beauty of a horse ride at Sugarloaf Horse Centre, enjoy a scoop or two of Artisan Gelato or stock up on fresh goodies at the Camden Fresh Produce Markets. Whatever you choose, there will be something for everyone to enjoy again this month and keep the kids occupied during the school holidays.

Please note however, that distancing measures are still in place, so we need to make sure that until restrictions are lifted even further, that we are all respecting our neighbours and community at large.

We hope you enjoy our wrap up for the month!
