About
The 2023 Show & Agri-Expo, formerly The Burnie Show is shaping up to be just as great, if not BETTER than our first Show and second Show at Agriplex in 2019 & 2022! And what’s even better is Children aged 5 and under are FREE to attend!
Whilst our name may have changed we remain dedicated to providing the community an agricultural show containing animal,produce and craft competitions, giving producers an opportunity to showcase their products, plus the ever popular sideshow alley carnival rides, games and fast food for the excitement and thrill seekers.
Alongside our traditional elements we have searched far and wide for hundreds of commercial exhibitors who are looking forward to showcasing their products and services with all our attendees. It doesn’t matter if you are looking for a new tractor, caravan or even some locally produced craft items WE HAVE IT ALL
We continue to remain dedicated to uncovering new and exciting elements to join our already exciting line ups of features and events to entertain and inform our attendees for hours!
