When you stay Rydges, you stay local, and there’s nothing quite like a truly local experience.

Nothing beats a tasty craft beer especially when it’s from the region you’re visiting! My local tip is to try a Tasting Paddle of locally brewed craft beers at The Welder’s Dog bar in Tamworth. The bar offers a full self-serve, food fridge & all the platter items you could dream of – and even better, all locally sourced & produced.

Be sure to tag us on social media @rydgeshotels to share your local experiences with us.

Whether you’re staying with us for business or pleasure, there’s always lots of things to do in Tamworth. The top Tamworth attraction is the Tamworth Country Music Festival. Running every year, it’s one of the top 10 music festivals in the world and the largest in Australia. If you are visiting the area in January this year, make sure you add this to your calendar.

If you’re a fan of country music, you can also visit the Hands of Fame park, only 5 minutes from the hotel, to check out generations of country music star’s handprints set in concrete. We’re also only 10 minutes from Tamworth’s Big Golden Guitar.
