Welcome to Tamworth — Australia’s Country Music Capital and one of the most vibrant regional destinations in the country. While it’s world-famous for its toe-tapping tunes and the iconic Tamworth Country Music Festival, the largest and longest-running event held every January, of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, this buzzing city offers so much more.
Think food, arts, culture, and breathtaking nature escapes. The Tamworth Region is fast becoming a must-visit getaway, with a diverse year-round calendar of events and experiences. From the flavours of the Taste Tamworth Festival to live performances spanning opera, theatre, ballet, rock and roll, and comedy — there’s always something happening. Big names are already lined up for 2025, including home-grown superstar Celeste Barber and international comedy legend Jimmy Carr.
Catch a show at one of the region’s celebrated Entertainment Venues, or step into the stunning Tamworth Town Hall — a local landmark since 1934 and home to the very first Golden Guitar Awards.
Need a place to stay? Look no further than the award-winning Powerhouse Hotel Tamworth by Rydges — the city’s only five-star hotel. Combining luxury with heritage charm, the hotel offers a range of stylish rooms, suites, and apartments perfect for couples, families, and groups. Dine in at The Workshop Kitchen, serving up locally sourced fare including the famous Jack’s Creek Beef steaks, grilled to perfection. Then wind down with a cocktail or fine whisky at the sophisticated Coal Bunker Bar — open every day of the year.
So gather up the family- or your mates and experience the rich arts and culture Tamworth has to offer, and “Think country” when planning your next road trip or getaway.
