Packed show programme

Cattle will return to the show this year, after being removed during the Mycoplasma bovis outbreak.

Organisers of next month’s Warkworth A&P Lifestyle Show are promising a packed programme of events with something to appeal to the whole family.

The show will be held at the Warkworth Showgrounds on Saturday, March 18, with gates opening at 9am.

After the disruptions caused through the covid years, the organisers hope the show will bounce back bigger and better than ever.

There will be shearing and woodchopping throughout the day, as well as fire brigade demonstrations and miniature horse shows and events.

The children’s fun zone will once again provide free rides and entertainment.

In a change from previous years, the popular indoor section will be complemented by a Show Day market, with a variety of stalls selling craft and produce.

The entertainment line-up includes Billy Black and his Kiwi Culture Show, which takes audiences on a journey from the bush to the back paddock. The Donkey & Mule Society will also be attending and mixed breed show cattle will be present.

Amazing horsemanship skills will be on display when the Mounted Games competitors take to the field and the Warkworth Museum will have a display of vintage machinery.

The trade section is back and will include a number of community and information stands.

Entry is $10 per adult, $5 for children 5-14 yrs; under five free. There is also a Family Pass for two adults and up to four children for $30. There is plenty of free parking.
