-The Gilitrutt Brothers Carnival has been a feature in Armidale for as long as anyone can remember. It is a traveling carnival whose circuit takes them from week to week to Tamworth, followed by  Armidale, then Glen Innes, Grafton, Port Macquarie and back again - meaning they are in Armidale roughly every month, or if not, close by. Their menagerie includes elephants and tigers as well as a petting zoo of the more cute and cuddly animals for the kids. Their acts include a troupe of clowns whose make-up makes them look alike, and death-defying acrobatic artists, jugglers and more. They have several side-show attractions, such as the cavern of the strange, hall of mirrors, and fun-house maze, as well as rides including ghost train, ferris-wheel, and dodgem cars.
