SPRING 2022: It’s time for adventure! 🌻

Amazing Forbes is home to a number of fun and exciting events… but there’s also a few tasty ones on the menu.

Grazing Down the Lachlan and Taste on Templar have quickly become must-do activities and are often sold out events.
This year – unfortunately, if you haven’t already got your tickets – is no different.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t tell you about them.

Grazing Down the Lachlan is in its fourth year and promises to be an incredible celebration of food once again, following a two-year hiatus in 2020 and 2021.
There is a great focus on country and culture, and of course, food! It is set amongst beautiful gums along the banks of the Lachlan River. “Grazers” will meander “down the Lachlan”, and feast on native foods – and matched wines – produced locally in the Central West region of NSW.
The event itself aims to promote sustainability and “zero-waste” with guests being transported to the site from town by bus only, to limit impact on the environment, and provided with reusable utensils which are returned at the conclusion of the event.

It is also a major contributor to the Sculpture Down the Lachlan art project – the “amazing” sign at the location of the event is part of that project – and other important art and cultural projects in and around the Forbes region.

This year will see an action-packed foodie weekend with the Sundowners By the Lake on the Friday evening and the Amazing Grazing Breakfast on the Sunday morning
Tickets are still currently available for the Friday evening event (find them HERE), and the breakfast is open to everyone. Info on these events (and more) are in our events section below!

Taste on Templar is in its #$#$# year and takes place right in the heart of the CBD.
Located in Templar Street – yep, in the street – guests are treated to an evening of alfresco dining under the stars.
Once again, a celebration of local produce and locally made products, and supporting local businesses and people.
Pop up “shops” will line the street offering local and regional wines, and boutique beer and cider to accompany the delicious menu that will be served to guests on the night.
A welcome drink on arrival and entertainment throughout the night will complete your Taste on Templar experience.

Now if that hasn’t whet your appetite enough, then we don’t know what will!

If you aren’t joining us this year, we’d love to see you at one of these deliciously exciting events next year!

And if you’re coming from out of town, why not make a weekend out of it?
