The Show is open to the public for one epic show day on Saturday from 9.00am to 4.30pm.
Where do I park and how much does it cost?
Public car parking is clearly sign-posted on the Pompallier College or the Museum grounds. Charges, if any, are usually gold coin donations to the community groups whose volunteers provide marshalling to make parking safe and easy for you. You get safe access to parking while supporting community causes!
Can I get cash out? Is there EFTPOS?For those needing disabled parking, there are a limited number of designated car parks near the Barge Showgrounds Events Centre in the heart of the showgrounds.
Yes, you can pay by EFTPOS at the gate and most trade exhibitors have EFTPOS available. You can also get cash out – EFTPOS only – at the Show office.
What is there to do at the Show?
There is a lot to do and see at the Show. From the animals in the livestock and equestrian competitions to the petting area in the Farm Yard nursery, through to the Fresha Valley Suzie Moo Show and everything in between, there is something for everyone at the Show. See the programme for more information.
Can I bring my dog?
Sorry, due to health and safety reasons and other potential risks due to all the other animals and children on the grounds, you need to leave your dog at home. This includes Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the show weekend and after show hours.
Can I bring my own food?
While you could bring your own food, there will be a wide range of food vendors with mouth-watering and delicious foods and refreshments to suit all tastes during the Show. Why would you want the hassle of bringing your own?
What if it is raining?
The A&P Show can operate in most weathers! This is because we have a range of undercover areas, there are large areas under canvas/marquees and there are plenty of places to get out of the weather and still enjoy the trade and other activities on offer.
Will there be rides at the Show this year?
Yes there will be some rides for younger show-goers including mini jeeps and inflatables. To take pressure off families in terms of how they spend their time and money at the Show, the large carnival rides will not be at the Show. You can also take a free ride on the Vintage Tractor.
There is also lots of other free entertainment such as the ever popular Big Dig treasure hunt and the Fresha Valley Suzie Moo Show.
