Our Commitment
We honour the rich traditions of Agricultural Shows while embracing innovation to ensure their sustainability and relevance for the future.
We bring together Show Societies, volunteers, competitors, and the wider community, fostering collaboration to strengthen the Agricultural Shows movement and enhance engagement in rural life.
We champion the value of Agricultural Shows to government, industry, and the public—presenting a strong, unified voice for our sector across the state.
We provide tools, resources, and training that empower Show Societies and volunteers to deliver safe, compliant, and inspiring events that reflect best practices and celebrate excellence.
We showcase the social, environmental, and economic contributions of Agricultural Shows -highlighting the prestige of our awards and the positive impact Shows have on communities across NSW.
AgShows NSW is committed to fostering inclusive, welcoming, and respectful environments across all agricultural shows and associated activities. We recognise diversity as one of the great strengths of the agricultural show movement and acknowledge our responsibility to ensure people of all backgrounds, abilities, ages, and cultures feel welcome and valued. We are committed to supporting fair and equitable access and participation, and to creating environments where individuals feel respected, safe, and able to contribute. This commitment sits at the heart of our role in supporting regional NSW and in celebrating the volunteers, participants and communities who sustain and shape agricultural shows across the state. AgShows NSW works alongside its Member Organisations to encourage inclusive practices that reflect the evolving needs, values, and diversity of their local communities.
Why It Matters
Agricultural Shows are more than events; they’re a celebration of rural heritage, a platform for education, and a hub for communities to connect. From small towns to large regional centres, AgShows NSW is proud to support the people, traditions, and innovations that make our Shows thrive.
