Events Weekend 5/6 February 2011

After a very hot week in the Southern Highlands, it looks to be a humid, yet slightly cooler weekend with showers expected.


This Saturday, Sylvan Glen Country House in Penrose is holding an Outdoor Concert in Aid of the Premiers Relief Fund.
Spend the day in a unique country venue on Saturday February 5th to enjoy one of the best tribute bands in Australia. "Achtung baby - the U2 Experience" will rock the highlands in Penrose near Bundanoon at Sylvan Glen Country House. Starting at 3pm, support bands and DJs will entertain you as you sit on the golf course by the trees before the main act hit the stage in the evening.
Proceeds go to the Premiers flood relief fund.
Tickets are just $35 for adults and $5 for kids under 16.
BYO chairs, shade and food/drinks.
Call Sylvan Glen now on 48844306 as tickets are limited.


Markets are on this Sunday at the Memorial Hall in Bundanoon. Under Cover markets 8:30am - 2:30pm.


Again, there are plenty of art exhibitions on around the Highlands.
The 2010 Cricket Art Prize is on display at the International Cricket Hall of Fame, Bowral through to the 6th March. This is a touring exhibition where artists were asked to depict life in and around the game and sport of cricket, in setting of beach, backyard, street and local club cricket. After starting at the SCG in October, the exhibition will have travelled to Queensland and Victoria before its final showing in Bowral.
