Secret Garden - first Sunday every month
Proudly hosted by
Troubadour Wagons, the Secret Garden and
Riverside Vibes Micro Music Events are modern-day adaptations of traditional touring artists, hailing from a bygone era. These two Micro Music Events are held on the first (
Secret Garden) and the third (
Riverside Vibes) Sunday of every month, (weather dependant, of course).
Inspired by 13th-century travelling artists, poets and players, Troubadour Wagons is a modern-day reworking of the medieval style event venue, a travelling bespoke venue that is available to hire for micro festivals, events, weddings and celebrations. The very innovative idea, to rekindle the age-old tradition of a mobile entertainment venue, was very cleverly developed in response to Covid and the restrictions imposed on indoor arts and cultural venues.

The
Troubadour Wagons come complete with recycled wooden bollards and spectacular bunting and entry arch, all designed with the '
wow' factor in mind, when welcoming audiences at each and every unique open air space.
Read more about these beauties in this link and find out how to
hire them for your next special celebration or music event.

Alivan Blu are an Australian Coastal/Indie folk duo from a small surf town on the far north coast of NSW. The Alivan Blu pair first started their journey together, travelling and surfing up and down the East Coast of Australia. Drawing from their experiences of domestic and overseas travel and growing up with the ocean at their front door, Alivan Blu's two acoustic guitars and their earthly blend of warm harmonies, will elicit a yearning for warm, balmy summer nights at the ocean or perhaps an adventure into the wild.
Alivan Blu are on Sunday 16 May
