Events at TRECC and the Sports Dome
The council's venue list puts the Tamworth Regional Entertainment and Conference Centre (TRECC) in Greg Norman Drive, approximately 6 km from the CBD, with 4,800 seated in its main hall. When a crowd that size leaves at once, a shuttle looping between the venue, the motels and the city centre earns its place. For junior sport, the Tamworth Sports Dome car park has 182 spaces plus overflow areas for major events; share the game times so the drop-off can be planned.
