The 2025 Tamworth Regional Heritage Festival is underway with plenty of events to keep everyone entertain up until Sunday, May 18.
This year, the festival will take place over a three-week period, allowing plenty of time for community members and visitors to immerse themselves in our rich heritage and history.
