If you’re planning a Peninsula weekend, the Red Hill Show returns on Saturday 7 March with a full day of country spectacle and family entertainment.
Held at the Red Hill Showgrounds, the 98th Red Hill Show brings together the energy of the Woodchop Arena, livestock judging, working dog demonstrations and colourful pavilion competitions, alongside carnival rides, pony rides and hands-on animal experiences for children.
Assistant Secretary Kerri Egan says the Show offers something increasingly rare, a genuine country show experience close to home. “It’s a chance to see real competition in the arena, from woodchop to livestock, while the kids enjoy the rides and animal encounters. There’s movement and atmosphere everywhere you turn.”
Beyond the arena, visitors can wander through displays of baking, preserves, produce and craft, meet native wildlife, or settle in to watch the action unfold across the day.
Long-time exhibitor Bev Laurissen, now 90, has been attending since childhood. “It was always something you looked forward to,” she says. “And it still is.”
Whether you’re a local or visiting the Mornington Peninsula, the Red Hill Show remains a highlight of the autumn calendar, a day where tradition, entertainment and rural skill come together.
Gates open at 8.30am. Tickets are on sale now. www.redhillshow.com.au
So, mark your calendars, gather your crew, and don’t miss out on a spectacular day of country charm, family fun, and unforgettable moments at the Red Hill Show!
