This year the Bellingen Show will be held on May 5 and 6 and there is an enormous amount to see and do over the weekend.
We have even included some cattle events starting on Friday, May 4 at 12.30pm.
The theme for 2018 is Circus and this means characters like Captain Awesome will be seen wandering the grounds on Saturday.
Don’t miss him as he will amaze you with his juggling, unicycling and stilt walking skills.
There will also be clowns on horseback and a circus theme in the cakes and colouring competitions.
The Show reflects our rural heritage and we continue to feature Equestrian events, Cattle competitions, Wood Chop, Poultry Competitions, Blacksmith demonstrations and Working Dogs around the grounds, as well as an amazing array of local produce, arts and crafts in the Main Pavilion.
Popular returning events such as the Young Farmers Challenge, Partner Carrying Competition or Mongrel Dog Show and Petting Zoo means everyone can join in and be part of the fun.
For a change of pace, you can sit and watch the Grand Parade, chill out in the Entertainment Tent, enjoy tastings from some of our fantastic local chefs in our Show Kitchen or enjoy the thrills of Side Show Alley.
Whether you are a resident or a visitor to the area, whether young or old, there is something magical about the Bellingen Agricultural Show so come along and join in the fun.
Extra! Extra!
