Who doesn’t have rose-tinted memories of long, hot summers spent at the local neighbourhood pool? The folks in the Newstead – the regional Victorian town near Castlemaine – certainly do, and they’re celebrating what’s great about the humble local swimming pool with performances and activities at the Newstead and District Swimming Pool.
It’s set to be a splashing good time with in-water circus performances, lilo races, poolside karaoke, dancing plus arts and craft. Suitable for little nippers all the way up to adults, Water Hole is a street party-style event aiming to bring the community together. Look out for acrobatic ensemble Asking For Trouble’s performance of In the Deep End featuring young people from the neighbouring town of Clunes.
This event is part of the Regional Centre for Culture; a year-long celebration of the four buzzing Victorian centres of Bendigo, Daylesford, Castlemaine and Maryborough. Find out more about all the events happening in the Regional Centre for Culture in 2018.
