We are finalising our 2027 featured events. Check back here in November for our full program. Here are some regulars that will return for 2027.
Yes, camels are back in 2027. Climb aboard for a slow lap and the best view in the paddock — and it won't cost you a cent.
Freestyle motocross at full noise. Riders throw backflips and one-handers metres above the arena floor.
Horse and rider against the clock and the course. Rails rattle, crowds hold their breath, and inches decide it.
The Show's centrepiece. Champion cattle, sheep, alpacas and horses circle the main arena together — a century-old tradition.
Friday and Saturday nights close out over the main arena. Find a spot on the hill and look up.
Dancing cows with rhythm they have no business having. Genuinely one of the most-photographed acts at the Show.
Lambs, calves, chicks and piglets, and hands to pat them with. The Show's gentlest introduction to farming.
Four dogs, four hurdles, one ball each and a lot of barking. The fastest team wins — noisiest crowd in the grounds.
See how it's actually done, and find out how far milk travels between the paddock and your fridge.

The Crafts Expo is home to everything crafty and handmade! Browse the magnificent exhibits – you’ll find everything from dainty embroidery to handmade beads, quilting and repurposed items made into fantastic new ones by clever, environmentally conscious locals.
The Expo is also home to a range of exhibitors specialising in handicrafts – if you’re after a new necklace, some scrapbooking supplies, or a club to teach you how to do it, it’s the place to be.
If it’s homemade, home grown or delicious, you’ll find it in the Harvest Hall!
The Harvest Hall hosts our Horticulture and Produce Section. Exhibitors with delicious tasty treats. It’s well worth a visit!
Many of the classes in Horticulture and Produce are open to all ages and levels of experience – if you think you’re growing a prize-winning zucchini, this may be the place to show it off.
The Capital Brewing Co Beer Garden is more family-friendly than the name suggests. There’s shade, free kids’ activities, entertainment through the day and — the reason most people come — the Racing Pigs. Grab a seat and settle in.
Have you ever visited the Cattle Precinct? It’s a great place to learn about different breeds of beef cattle!
Go for a walk between the pavilions and you’ll see bulls, cows and calves being meticulously groomed for show.
There’s lots of fun to be had in Sideshow Alley! There are action packed rides scary enough to have your hair standing on end through to sedate teacups for the littlies. And what’s a Show without a Dagwood Dog!

Lunarix pulls you into a fast‑spin light show — tight rotations, neon blur and that weightless, head‑rush moment you love.
The ride builds speed as it circles the track, lifting and dropping just enough to keep kids grinning and teens leaning in for the next twist.
Mirror Maze twists reality with shifting reflections, false paths and quick, disorienting illusions.
Music Trip spins you through pulsing lights and beat‑driven motion — a fast, rhythmic ride that feels like stepping inside a track.
No Limit hurls you through wild flips, hard swings and full‑tilt, adrenaline‑spiking chaos sending you into orbit, there is NO LIMIT to this ride.
Sea Circus is a playful fun‑house of wobbling floors, tilted rooms and cheeky nautical illusions — a quick, colourful walk‑through where every corner throws a new, splashy surprise.

Most main arena events run across all three days, but some are one-off. Check the daily program for exact times — the Grand Parade and fireworks in particular have set slots.
Yes. Sideshow Alley rides are operated separately from Show entry and are paid for on the day. Ride passes and multi-ride deals are usually available at the entrance to the Alley.
There are so many things to see and do with your entry ticket. There are camel rides, main arena entertainment at lunchtime and Friday and Saturday evenings there is a full 3-hour show that has all the adrenaline of motor sports, night illuminations and high octane fun on the main arena.
You also access all pavilions, the animal competitions, the Farmyard Nursery, demonstrations and roving entertainment. There are loads of craft activities to participate in, this year we have a 100 year exhibition, the kids also participate in a treaure hunt and receive a free toy a the end.
All rides, food and show bags are extra.
Fireworks run on Friday and Saturday evenings, timed to close out the main arena program usually at 9.00pm. Exact times are in the daily program.
The multi-faith room on level one of the Conference Centre is a shared quiet space open to everyone. The pavilions are also generally calmer than the arena and Sideshow Alley.
