In 1865, Wagga Wagga butcher Tom Castro stepped across the threshold of his shop and into the history books. Claiming to be the long-lost heir to the Tichborne family's Hampshire estates, Tom unwittingly set in motion one of the greatest cases of disputed identity in recent criminal history. Man, myth, would-be baronet, peep show oddity and pauper, who was Tom Castro, and did he ever really exist?
The Museum of the Riverina brings this amazing story to life in the wonderfully evocative surrounds of their Historic Council Chambers. View the Nathan Hughes painting 'The Great Tichborne Trials' alongside objects from the Museum's Tichborne collection, believed to be one of the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.
Given the same starting point, one thousand potters will invariably produce one thousand unique and individual pieces. The only limit to what can be created through fire and clay is imagination itself. Centuries of exploration, of materials, methods, and techniques, have allowed potters to transform vision into reality, turning fleeting ideas into objects of permanence.
The Wagga Wagga Potters Club group exhibition, 'Concepts in Clay', showcases this diversity of practice, bringing together a rich array of clays, glazes, and firing methods, each piece tracing its origin back to a single spark of imagination.
That same spirit of imagination extends beyond the studio and into the community, as seen in the Club's ongoing work with the Blamey Community Group. The Blamey Community Group reached out to the club for information on running pottery workshops after a kiln had been found tucked away at the centre. After some discussion, Potters Club members offered to assist in making this possible. These members have been going to Kapooka once a week to run classes ever since. The nature of the work of military members makes this a unique task. A small display of works produced during these lessons will be included in the exhibition.
What does it mean to stand at the edge of the world's last great wilderness and to feel responsible for it?
Ice Pact is an exhibition and educational project that blends art, science, and personal experience into a compelling call for environmental stewardship. It is inspired by industrial chemist Jorg Metz, who served as laboratory manager at Casey Station, Antarctica, during the summer of 2011/12.
At its heart is a collection of over 30 works of art, each acknowledging the enigmatic and pristine wilderness of Antarctica. Through this lens, ICE PACT explores the Antarctic Treaty System, the landmark 1959 agreement that now unites 56 nations in the protection of the continent. It also highlights the urgent need to extend that protection to the Southern Ocean, now increasingly threatened by climate change and human activity.
By leveraging the power of creativity and knowledge, this exhibition aims to inspire a collective commitment to the conservation and sustainable management of the Southern Ocean, ensuring its vitality for generations to come.
PCYC NSW hosts pickleball events for community members who are looking for a fun and easy way to stay active while enjoying the thrill of competition.
If you haven’t heard of pickleball before, you’re not alone. But fortunately, the premise is quite simple! The game is a mix between tennis, badminton, and squash, and it’s similar to each of those sports in that you use a racquet to hit a ball over the net. It’s fast becoming a cult activity, gaining huge popularity across the state.
Visitors welcome.
Please join them for this fun activity everyday except Sunday.
During the residency, Allis would like to begin creating portraits of local people that capture not only how they look, but something of who they are.
The portraits will bring together painting, drawing and fragments of poems written in response to each person. Alongside each painting, a soundscape will be created using, with permission, pieces of conversation, stories or memories from the sitting, together with sounds connected to the sitter's life.
The idea for this project grew partly from the artist losing an uncle suddenly, and hearing her aunt say that she wished she had a recording of his voice. It made Allis think about how much a voice can hold — a person's character, memories and presence.
The residency will give Allis the opportunity to explore this idea, spend time developing the work, and begin to see where the project might lead.

Musings from a Darkened Corner translates lived experiences with mental conditions into tangible physical objects, which can be perceived, assessed, and understood. Artist Dan De Nardis uses glass as the shears through which to cut back the curtain between the psychological world and the physical, as her personal investigations into the mind plunge deeper into introspection, and we, the audience, are invited to peer in.
Gallery closed on Mondays.

Join bestselling author Fiona McIntosh at Wagga Wagga Art Gallery for the launch of her newest release "The Art Lovers".
While war rages across the city of Valletta, a local barkeeper's daughter Valentina Camilleri is on the cusp of womanhood when Flight Lieutenant Peter Fox falls out of the sky from his spitfire and into her world. In that fateful moment, he captures not just her imagination and her dreams, but also her young heart.
As he convalesces, Peter, an art historian, becomes captivated by Malta's spectacular cathedral and its treasure, the famed artwork of Caravaggio. His passion for the subject ignites Valentina's ambition and sparks the dream of a life far from her dreaded destiny.
A dozen years on, Peter returns to the island as an art expert for newly crowned Queen Elizabeth's forthcoming visit. When he reconnects with Valentina, a woman now, he is horrified to see what has become of her.
Facing a war of her own within her heart, Valentina must find the courage to fight for her son and her future – but will freedom come at a cost?

Run by local growers and makers, the Farmers Markets are a not‑for‑profit, farmer‑led initiative where every purchase directly supports small‑scale producers from across the Riverina.

Part market, part community space and part grassroots movement, the Farmers Markets strengthen local food systems, champion regional producers and create meaningful connections between the people who grow and make — and the people who enjoy their products.
Each market features fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables, local meats, free‑range eggs, honey, preserves, baked goods, dairy products, flowers, plants, natural skincare, and a rotating selection of Riverina‑made artisan items, along with plenty of surprises from week to week.

Meandering through the Victory Memorial Gardens and Civic Centre precinct in the centre of Wagga, the Wollundry Lagoon is the perfect spot to relax or enjoy a pleasant stroll amongst native vegetation.
The lagoon is important to Aboriginal people for its spiritual, historical, social and aesthetic values. It is associated with the Dreaming story of the Wawi, a reptile-like spirit which resided in, and protected the Lagoon.
Wollundry is an Anglicised word derived from the Wiradjuri language. 'Walang' means 'stone' or 'hard' and 'duray', means 'having' or 'place of'. Thus Wollundry (Walangduray) means 'stone-having' or 'place of stones'. The name is probably a reference to a granite rock bar (outcropping rocks) in the river below the present day St John's Church or to the granite on which the church stands.
The surrounding sandhills have been used by Aboriginal groups for camping. At the time of European settlement, families camped near the lagoon and surrounding areas. Major gatherings attended by 400-500 Aboriginal people or 'grand corroborees' occurred in 1842 and 1843.
Traditional Wiradjuri food and medicine collecting and cultural activities were practised at least until the 1870s, including the use of fish balks, or weirs, for managing supplies of fish.
Epizõ is a contemporary wellbeing hub in Wagga Wagga designed as a place to slow down, reconnect and return to yourself through intentional ritual. It brings together three core experiences under one roof: a bathhouse, a movement studio, and private treatment rooms hosted by independent practitioners.
The bathhouse offers a guided circuit of heat, cold and rest, designed to support nervous system regulation, recovery and deep restoration. Guests move through a sauna and steam room, then into contrast therapy with a hot, river temperature and cold plunge pool. These practices are grounded in contrast therapy principles, helping the body reset, recover and rebalance.
The movement space hosts Pilates, Yoga, Breathwork, Strength and Fusion classes focused on strength, mobility, breath and awareness. Sessions are designed to build consistency and connection over time, rather than intensity alone.
Epizõ also supports a community of health and wellbeing practitioners through its treatment rooms, creating a shared ecosystem of care.
At its core, Epizõ is a place to return to, reset within, and build sustainable wellbeing into everyday life.
