Glen Innes Showground, heritage-listed showground in Glen Innes, New South Wales, Australia

Glen Innes Showground is a historic venue with a collection of timber buildings in classical style from the late 1800s and early 1900s. The grounds feature a central arena, a hardwood grandstand finished in 1899, exhibition pavilions including an 1892 Main Pavilion, and specialized structures for livestock display arranged across a park-like setting with mature trees.

The first show in the Glen Innes district was held at Inverell in 1869; Glen Innes hosted it in 1870 near the primary school. The first show on the Bourke Street site took place in 1874, making it one of the earliest shows outside Sydney to run continuously on its own ground. Construction began in 1873, and the site was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 4 September 2015.

The first show in the district was held at Inverell in 1869, and the 1870 show took place at Glen Innes near the primary school before the event moved to this site. The Inverell-Glen Innes Pastoral and Agricultural Association organised these early shows so that stock could be displayed and judged, and the annual agricultural show has continued on the grounds since 1874.

The showground sits on Bourke Street in Glen Innes, in the New England region of New South Wales. The site is a working showground, so the arena and pavilions may be closed or in use around the annual show and other events; check locally before travelling. The grounds are level and walkable, with the main pavilion, grandstand and livestock structures grouped around the central arena.

The first show on this site was held in 1874, making Glen Innes one of the earliest shows in New South Wales to run continuously on its original ground outside Sydney. The site was designed by several architects, including Thompson and Holmes, J. P. O'Connor, Rowland Bros and Madigan and Cusick, and built from 1873 by builders such as A. W. Lane, G. Cooper and H. A. Tutt and Son. It joined the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 4 September 2015.
