The much-anticipated Bathurst Agricultural Show 2026 kicks off today, promising four days of entertainment, exhibitions and activities for the whole family.
Running daily from early morning until late, the show offers a wide variety of attractions spread across the showgrounds.
Visitors can explore numerous stalls and exhibits from 8am to 5pm, including displays in the Harvest and Joan Purdon halls, as well as the Bathurst Agricultural Museum.
The popular Heavy Duty Zone will showcase large tractors and machinery, while livestock exhibitions and horse events in the main arena will keep agricultural enthusiasts engaged throughout the day.
Families can look forward to a vibrant Kidz Zone, located at the Harvest Hall, featuring playgrounds, jumping castles, workshops, farm-style games and quad train rides. The Kidz Quad Train will run from 10am to 5pm, offering younger visitors an exciting way to explore the grounds.
Art and culture will also take centre stage at the Memorial Hall, where visitors can enjoy exhibitions of art, photography, quilting, produce, flowers and woodwork. Meanwhile, the Village Hall will host the viewing of 1825 Online Antiques & Collectibles, along with a drone display.
Food lovers will be spoiled for choice at the Food Court. The Cask & Cuisine area will provide a more relaxed, upmarket experience, featuring wine, beer, gin tastings and artisanal food stalls set under the trees.
A Tractor Uber service will operate between the village centre and the main show entrance at a cost of R20 per person.
