Market Day Farewell – With Thanks From the Piallamore Recreation Reserve
Looking at the photo below, it’s easy to remember why our Annual Market Day meant so much to so many. Since 2014, the reserve has come alive with stalls, families, music, laughter, and the unmistakable buzz of a true community gathering.
Today, we share some bittersweet news.
After twelve wonderful years, the committee has reluctantly decided to bring Market Day to a close. Our organisers — who have carried this event with heart and grit — are aging, and no new hands have stepped forward to take the baton. It wasn’t an easy call.
We want to thank every single person who helped make days like the one in this photo possible: our generous sponsors, loyal siteholders, tireless volunteers, and TRC’s Place Management team. Your support turned Market Day into one of the region’s most popular and loved events.
It was also our major fundraiser, and the improvements you now see across the Reserve were made possible because of the community spirit behind this event. For that, we are deeply grateful.
But this is not the end of the story.
With the facilities we now have, we’re ready to welcome groups and organisations looking for a venue for multi‑day gatherings — car clubs, caravan groups, bike tours, business retreats, and more. Please keep the Piallamore Recreation Reserve in mind.
The reserve is also available for day events, family gatherings etc. plus the air conditioned school house might be of interest for club / community meetings.
The tennis courts can be booked or used informally at any time. Lights are available for night tennis.
We continue to host a strong following of campers during the Tamworth Country Music Festival and run numerous events throughout the year.
Thank you for the memories — and stay tuned for what comes next.
