Free pool parties for Armidale and Guyra

The region’s pools will be the place to cool off this weekend, with two free pool parties organised for Armidale and Guyra.

The Kids’ Pool Party will be held at the Monckton Aquatic Centre on Saturday evening, followed by the Guyra Pool Party at the Guyra Swimming Pool on Sunday evening.

There will be a range of local food vendors at each event, as well as plenty of fun activities for the whole family. Pool inflatables will be set up in the Armidale pool, while Guyra’s event will have inflatable games on the grass. The family-friendly film SCOOB! will be projected at sundown at both pool parties.

Unfortunately COVID-19 restrictions have meant numbers will be limited, so Armidale Regional Council is encouraging everyone to get there on time to guarantee entry.

These free events have been made possible by a $10,000 grant from the NSW Government.

Each party will run from 6:00pm until 10:30pm.
