Entry
General public entry is off Showgrounds Drive on your left through a well signed set of gates (adjacent to the Men’s Shed), about 80 metres past Woodanga Drive. Proceed straight to the parking area, guided by our volunteers. Parking for disabled persons is available nearest the Show entry points.
Exit is through a second set of gates further along Showgrounds Drive. (Trucks and exhibitors/stallholders should use the EXIT gate to gain entry).
Once parked, entry into the Show is by a short walk through clearly marked pedestrian lanes near where the rides are located. Please have your entry tickets/online receipts available for checking at these entry points. A free “train” on a circuit will be available for those who need help with access (and fun for kids!)
We have an online ticketing system for your convenience. We recommend you access this system before you come to the Show. Quick validation at the entry gate will be possible with an email ticket that will be sent to you to download to print or for display on your phone at the entry point.
As far as possible, please avoid paying by cash when you come to the entry point. You may need cash for other attractions at the Show and there will be ATMs available on site. There will be EFTPOS facilities available at the entry gate.
