The Oxford Art Factory is a Sydney venue known for showcasing, guess what... artists! It's a paradise for musicians, bands, visual artists, and anyone with a little something extra: grungy, funky, poppy, groovy, rocky, etc. This is the factory of melodies, sounds, and gigs. At least four nights a week, bands perform. If you want to know what's going on in Sydney musically and what's trending, this is the place to be. There's also a dance floor.

This old art deco theater was built in 1892-1893 as the New Belmore Markets with, as a characteristic of the time, the inclusion of circus, theater and fairground shows. Due to the decline in attendance over time for these shows of all kinds, the building was transformed in 1913 into a racetrack. It became a permanent theater in 1927. Nowadays, its program includes great musical shows as well as famous artists: it is the little Australian Moulin Rouge!

Bangarra Dance Theatre is an Aboriginal (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) contemporary dance company founded in 1989. It is a permanent resident of the Opera House. In addition to the success of its annual tours, notably to Australia, the USA and the UK, it has been awarded the Helpmann Prize on several occasions. It is the only major Aboriginal company currently performing in Sydney. Don't miss this opportunity to immerse yourself further in Aboriginal culture.

The Belgrave cinema is THE cinema in Armidale. It is also one of the main entertainment places of the city. This small cinema which looks like an art house cinema has only the appearance of one, because it shows essentially blockbusters intended for all audiences. Two rooms are available and allow the daily projection of 4 or 5 different films. At the entrance of the establishment, a plaque reminds us that it exists thanks to the Friends of the Cinema, who created the place after the closing of the Capitol Theater, in 1983.

If there is a movie theatre not to be missed in the Glen Innes area, it is this one. Installed in an old chapel (1885) whose general architecture has remained intact despite the change of business, one can attend the projection of recent films in a most original decor. In terms of equipment, the place sometimes offers 3D, Digital and Dolby 7.1 projections. It offers few films and few screenings, but it's already something!
