Love Lanes Festival returns to Wyong

installations and more,” Smith said.

“It’s an incredible chance to discover Wyong’s hidden gems and immerse the whole family in the buzz of this unique outdoor festival.

“The Love Lanes mural will be making a comeback, with Coasties being encouraged to take a snap and share the love”.

Last year’s event attracted approximately 8,000 festival goers and injected over $1M into the local economy.

Council Administrator Rik Hart said the festival transforms Wyong’s heritage laneways and town park into an exciting hub of art, culture and culinary experiences.

“Love Lanes has become a highlight on the Coast’s event schedule where community organisations and local businesses share their talents, expertise and celebrate the wonderful area we live in,” Hart said.

To help make this festival a success and safe for motorists and visitors alike, road closures will be in place between 6am and 11pm on the event day at: Alison Rd (between Pacific Hwy and Margaret St); Bakers Lane (between Pacific Hwy and Rankens Court); Rankens; Peters Lane; Hely St(between Plaza Lane and Alison Rd); and Robleys Lane (between Pacific Hwy and Hely St). Portable accessible toilets will be installed, and the event site is support animal and pram friendly.

Registrations are essential for guided heritage walking tours hosted by the Wyong Family History Group.

Love Lanes Festival is presented by Central Coast Council, and major sponsor The Mounties Group, funded by the NSW Government.

Satirical comedy at its best at The Art House

After two sold-out shows last year, the masters of satirical comedy, The Wharf Revue, are now returning to The Art House with their new show, Looking for Albanese.

The Wharf Revue is at the top of the game when it comes to Aussie satire as they take aim at current affairs and politics with quick-fire wit and creative musical parody.

The latest show is just finishing up six weeks at The Seymour Centre and has many audiences claiming it to be the best yet, a big accolade for the group that has amassed over 22 seasons of the annual review.

The original crew of Jonathan Biggins, Drew Forsythe and Phillip Scott are joined by Mandy Bishop to play a vast array of public figures at lightning speed and hilarious accuracy.

This time they tackle inflation, rising interest rates, conflict in Ukraine, climate disaster, culture wars, COVID 19-20-2122-23, and a looming World War Three.

What sets this troupe apart is their array of talents which never cease to amaze.

They can write, compose, act, dance and sing to provide a clever, top quality and impressive theatre experience beyond simply comedic oneliners.

The Wharf Revue will perform two shows of Looking for Albanese at The Art House in Wyong, an evening and a matinee – Tuesday, March 7 at 8pm and Wednesday, March 8 at 2pm.
