Ballarat Showgrounds

Ballarat Showgrounds is an agricultural exhibition venue in Wendouree with multiple pavilions, display areas, and event spaces spread across the grounds. The site serves primarily for shows and community events that showcase rural industries and local activities.

The site began in 1856 when the Ballarat Agricultural Show Society organized its first activity as a ploughing competition. This foundation established the grounds as a regional center for agricultural events and community gatherings.

The annual Ballarat Show displays achievements from rural industries through livestock exhibitions and produce competitions that reflect local farming life. Visitors experience traditional skills and agricultural practices that remain important to the surrounding communities.

The grounds are spacious with different zones that are walkable, making it easy to explore all the attractions spread across the site. When planning a visit, allow enough time to explore multiple areas and wear comfortable shoes for getting around.

The grounds contain a specialized equestrian facility with a sand and rubber surface designed for jumping and dressage competitions. This installation attracts riders seeking high-quality training venues and equestrian events.
