LATE Spring is the perfect, sun-kissed time of year to enjoy an authentic agricultural experience just beyond the urban sprawl.
One of the oldest and proudest agricultural displays in the country, The Whittlesea Show is renowned for its beautiful location and on Saturday and Sunday, November 5-6, the Show will make its much-anticipated return with extensive livestock exhibits, competitions, parades and family-fuelled merrymaking through games and activities.
Aiming to delight and gratify all who attend, the Whittlesea Show is one of the largest of its kind and is a fascinating, enjoyable way to engage with agricultural knowledge and rural ways of life.
With free entry for all children under 14, Show highlights include, homecrafts, educational pavilions, woodchopping competitions, ferret races, free carriage rides and an animal nursery.
In a thrilling explosion of colour and entertainment, a free circus will showcase stage performers, roving musicians, carnival rides and offer show bags galore, while the Jack Eadon Memorial Show Jumping will provide a wonderful spectacle on both days for the public in the main area.
With a delicious smorgasbord of food and drink also available, the Whittlesea Show is a bona fide agricultural event not to be missed, and as Erica Hawke, President of the 163-year-old Whittlesea Agricultural Society said,
“The Whittlesea Show is the real deal; it is the perfect way for families to come and enjoy the country experience.”
