What a day it was in Lyndhurst! The Community Country Fair turned on the charm once again, bringing locals and visitors together for a jam-packed day of fun, food, and community spirit.
From the moment the gates opened, the fairgrounds were buzzing with energy—and the organisers couldn’t have been happier. “A huge thank you to everyone who made the Lyndhurst Community Country Fair a success!” they said. And with a line-up like this year’s, it’s easy to see why it was such a hit.
Stallholders brought their A-game, filling the space with the smell of sizzling sausages, sweet treats, handmade crafts and all sorts of treasures. “A special shoutout to all the amazing stallholders… their dedication and effort made the event truly special,” the organisers added.
There was something happening in every corner—from the medieval display team putting on a thrilling show with plenty of swordplay and flair, to the local dance school bringing smiles with a lovely performance that had everyone clapping along. Local musician Henry set the perfect vibe, his laid-back guitar and vocals creating a warm soundtrack to the day.
Crowds gathered for the ever-popular dog high jump—always a crowd favourite—as local pups gave it their best shot, some clearing impressive heights to roars of laughter and applause. Nearby, car enthusiasts were showing off 45 gleaming vehicles in the car show, sharing stories and soaking up the sun.
The Cobb & Co rides were another standout, offering a ride back in time that delighted both kids and adults. And for those wanting a real challenge, the Pinnacle and Strongman events were a massive drawcard, as competitors gave it their all in feats of strength and endurance.
Kids weren’t left out either, with face painting, craft stations, and jumping castles scattered around the grounds. Every corner of the fair had something fun going on.
Local community groups were out in force too, sharing info on everything from cricket and golf to fire safety. Their presence added that real “local” feel—this was an event all about connection.
The organisers made a point of thanking their sponsors, who helped make the day possible: Blayney Shire Council, Lyndhurst Roadhouse, Bernardi’s Blayney, Greens Mandurama, SDA Church, and Blayney Wholesale Foods. Their support meant the world.
And of course, the biggest cheers go to the crew in the bright hi-vis shirts—those behind-the-scenes legends who made it all happen. Organising something this big takes serious effort, and it showed in every detail.
Despite the heat, the community turned out in force with big smiles, ready to soak up the good vibes. “We’re already looking forward to doing it all again in 2026,” the organisers said. And so are we.
