Get ready for the Uralla Show – bigger and brighter than ever!

The Uralla Show is back with all the crowd favourites plus a few new additions for 2026

The Uralla Show is set to return, bringing fun, excitement, and community spirit to the town on Saturday, 7 February. A highlight of the local calendar, the Show promises something for everyone, from traditional agricultural displays to a range of new attractions that are sure to thrill visitors of all ages.

“We’re really excited to welcome some fantastic new events this year,” Sue Barnden, Show Secretary, said. “The Yard Dog Trials are a real crowd-pleaser, and our Sports Shearing demonstrations always draw a big audience. Plus, we’ve got a Moto Show and Shine and even a Tyre Changing Competition, something a bit different for everyone to enjoy!”

There’s plenty for families to enjoy at the Uralla Show, with a grand parade, kids’ races, a lolly chase, and decorated bikes adding colour and excitement to the day. New attractions this year, like the Moto Show and Shine and the Tyre Changing Competition, bring a fresh twist to the program, giving visitors plenty of chances to be amazed or cheer on participants.

Evenings are buzzing with energy, thanks to live music from The Axemen and the chance to explore local market stalls. As night falls, the showgrounds light up with spectacular fireworks, creating a magical finale to each day of festivities.

Traditional Show highlights remain at the heart of the experience. Livestock and agricultural displays, craft competitions, and sports shearing demonstrations showcase the skill and dedication of the region’s residents, while offering visitors an authentic taste of Uralla’s rural heritage. The Yard Dog Trials in particular are always a crowd favourite, combining agility, precision, and plenty of excitement for spectators.

From the fast-paced thrill of the Yard Dog Trials to the creativity of decorated bikes, there’s something for everyone at the Uralla Show. Whether visitors are coming for the new events, the timeless favourites, or simply a fun day out with family and friends, the Show celebrates community spirit, local talent, and good old-fashioned fun.

Mark your calendars and join in the festivities, the Uralla Show is back, and it’s bigger, brighter, and more action-packed than ever! With something for everyone, it’s an unmissable celebration of local culture, creativity, and community pride.
