A country show, run by the community, for well over a century

For two days each January, farmers, growers, riders, cooks and makers bring their best to the Berry Showground to be judged. Cattle, goats and poultry fill the sheds, the Pavilion fills with produce and craft, and the Main Ring runs from showjumping in the morning to fireworks at night.

The Show is run by the volunteers of the Berry Show Society. Anyone can enter, and everyone is welcome to come and watch.
