Henry Parkes Centre Open Day – Saturday 11 April: Join the team on Saturday 11 April, 9am-3pm for a fantastic day of free museum entry, live music, a community BBQ, kids activities, local produce tastings and more.

Forbes Show: Did you know the Forbes Showground is privately owned and operated by the Forbes PA&H Association? Unlike many showgrounds across NSW that are owned by local councils. This means the maintenance, improvements, and running of the grounds rely heavily on volunteers, fundraising, events, and the support of our local community. Every event held at the grounds, including the Forbes Show, markets, and community activities helps contribute to the upkeep and future of this important local facility. Thank you to everyone who supports the Forbes PA&H.
Trundle Bush Tucker Day: The national cooking competition is back, so dust off those camp ovens, dig through the family recipes, perfect your secret ingredients and get ready for the 39th National Bush Tucker Day Cook Off.
