All the fun of the fair and so much more will be on display when the Hawkesbury Show returns this month.

Hawkesbury ShowThe three-day show at the Hawkesbury Showground at Clarendon promises to be the biggest, brightest and most exciting event yet with a full program of agricultural competitions and displays, entertainment and attractions that the whole family will enjoy.

“Partner that with the excitement of a traditional modern-day carnival and here you have a truly fun day out for the whole family.”
