  •  Make it a Friday night to remember as Preston Event Centre hosts C*4’s Rush Hour wrestling. VIP tickets cost $40 in advance or $50 at the door. Other tickets are available, but you, you are a VIP.
     

  •  Oooh, scary! Tour Cumberland Heritage Village Museum after sundown, if you dare. Ghost Tours take small groups into the historic buildings to take in the eery vibe and maybe - just maybe - speak to the spirits that reside in the Village.
