Packed with family fun, entertainment, workshops and competitions, the Brookfield Show brings together the best of country tradition and modern creativity over three days from Friday, May 22nd to Sunday 24th!

Crowds at Brookfield Show

Celebrate classic Show favourites like Horticulture and Needle Craft, alongside crowd-pleasing events such as LEGO, Woodchop and the hilarious Hobby Horse competition (Saturday only), where locals canter, prance and even attempt “dressage” on their trusty wooden steeds. Wander through bustling trade stalls, enjoy delicious food, and take a step back in time at the Brookfield Museum.

When the sun goes down, the excitement ramps up. Feel the thrill of the Friday night rodeo with fearless cowboys and cowgirls taking on bucking bulls and broncs, followed by live music to keep the good times going. Saturday night also promises a fun night out with loads of entertainment and more live music. Fireworks will light up the sky’s both Saturday and Sunday evenings.
