Action-packed Narrabri Show has something for everyone

The Narrabri Show is gearing up to be an action-packed weekend, with plenty to see and do.

Gates open on Friday morning, May 2, and the action of the show runs across Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

An array of entertainment and activities is again on offer, ensuring there is something for everyone.

The Friday night show opening is going to be spectacular, with the official opening of the show, a full rodeo and the BPOZ mechanical bull operating from 5-8pm.

The rodeo action on Friday night starts from 5pm, with the main performance from 6pm. There’ll be entertainment on offer as well as for rodeo-goers.

Popular Narrabri entertainer Leon Cunningham will perform live from 9pm.

But the fun of the show doesn’t stop on Friday.

There’s plenty to do across the weekend, including fireworks and children’s entertainment, and ending the Saturday night with live music at the bar.

If you’re interested in horses, there are a whole range of equine events across the weekend.

Or, if you prefer the agricultural side of the show, there’s stud cattle judging on Saturday, as well as a shearing demonstration.

Local creatives feature prominently as well, with a range of artistic sections and displays in the pavilions.

Traditionally, the pavilions are packed with entries across art, craft, photography, cooking and preserves, decorated cakes, home produce, horticulture and poultry.

Be sure to see the stunning floral entries in the horticulture pavilion.

The show society also asks people to use the Ugoa Street entrance to the show, with ample parking available.

Entrance via the Wukawa Street gate is typically reserved for show exhibitors and officials only.
